Report Server File Share In SQL Reporting Services

liliarum · July 6th, 2004, 01:36 PM

Hi,
I am sorry for so basic questions...I am brand new to SQL Reporting Services.
The question is:
When I create Report subscription delivered by Report Server File Share server asks to specify Path (which I created as Shared: \\localcomputer\C$\MyReportsFiles) and Credentials used to access the file share. I specified just some (it doesn't allow to leave these fields blank).
During delivery it fails, it says "Failure writing file ...: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
I am wondering what these credentials must match? And how to set them?
Thank you in advance.

The file share that you are attempting to send info to is an andministrative share. The credentials must be that of an administrator on that machine.

Thank you.
But the thing is.
I want to create a subscription programmatically from the App's UI,
and it doesn't look good if you ask the user to enter the password.
There is no problem to get the UserName from Environment class,
but what about the password?
Is there any other way to get the password except to ask the user to enter it?
