Set Homepage to Windows Authentification

Hi,

How can I set the Report Server homepage to default to windows authentification. Currently it opens on Report server authentification and I would like it to either open on Windows Authentification so the user clicks on the blue arrow - or even better goes straight through if they are authenticated via AD.
I cannot see the config file that I need to alter.

Thanks
Patrick

Hi Patrick,  
  
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.  
 
Currently, we don’t have support to set windows authentication as default login. We have made modification in our login page that allows you to login using Windows Authentication by default.  
 
Please follow the below steps to replace the file in your machine,  
 
  1. Download and extract the file from the below location,
  
  
  1. Open the below location in the machine where Report Server is installed,
  
C:\Syncfusion\Dashboard Server\DashboardServer.Web\Views\Accounts  
  
  1. Replace the downloaded file “Login.cshtml” in the above location.
  
To login using the normal Report Server authentication, please add the parameter “authentication = form” in the URL Query String.  
 
 
Regards,  
Subha

Hi,

When I update this file on my server I don't get the expected results.


It is still asking me for a username / password and thebox does not seem to be working properly.

Hi Patrick,    
  
Sorry for the inconvenience. We were unable to reproduce the issue in our side.    
  
Replacing the provided file will make the following changes in the Report Server authentication,    
  1. By default, for every login request user will be authenticated using Windows authentication. The inputs for Windows authentication may vary based on the browser settings.
  2. To change the login options of Windows Authentication, you can refer the document below,
 
   
Note: To use windows authentication, you have to import  the users from Active Directory. Please refer the online help documentation link below,    
  
Also, please share the screenshot to know whether the authentication failed at the application level or while performing windows authentication.     
  
Regards,   
Subha
