SSW Update - Do you create a separate virtual directory for Admin access?

[ the cutting edge ]

G'Day Developers!

When going public with Reporting Services, you should have 2 ports:

  1. A public access port. This allows your public users to access their reports normally on a port which has been configured for anonymous users.
  2. An admin access port on your web site. This allows authenticated internal users to administer the report server via the Report Manager.

To set this up you need to perform the following:

In Windows Explorer:

  1. Create a Windows User account for the anonymous reporting services site to run as. e.g. IUSR_ReportViewer
  2. Open up the ReportingServices directory (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services)
  3. Duplicate the ReportServer and the ReportManager folders then rename prefix them with _External e.g. ReportServer_External and ReportManager_External
  4. Set the file access security on the new folders so that "Everyone" has full permissions.
  5. Edit the ReportServer_External/rsreportserver.config file. Update the URL node <UrlRoot>http://xxxx:81/ReportServer</URlRoot>
  6. The ReportManager_External/RSWebApplication.config file. Update the URL node <ReportServerUrl>http://xxxx:81/ReportServer</ReportServerUrl>

In IIS Manager:

  1. Create another website on another port (i.e. port 81)
  2. Create Virtual Direcoties for ReportServer and Reports then point them to the new folders we just made. Make sure they are setup as applications.
  3. Change the Authentication of these 2 virtual directorys to use the user we have already created "USR_ReportViewer". Ensure that all other Authenticated access is unchecked.
  4. In the Reports Virtual Direcotry, make sure that it is running the same version of ASP.NET. Set the Applicaiton to execute Scripts and Executables. Add Home.aspx into the Default Documents.
  5. In the ReportServer Virtual Directory, make sure that it is running the same version of ASP.NET. Remove all the Application Mappings in the Application Confguration. Then add a wildcard mapping to the Executable C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll

See how to do this in SQL Management Studio, Reporting Services and with SQL 2000 in Windows Explorer and IIS Manager

Social Engineering with Facebook API using Visual Studio 2008 by Tom Gao

About
The facebook platform is currently valued at 10 billion dollars with over 40 million users registering within the last year alone. It is predicted to overtake myspace in the next year or so.
In my work as the National Technical Director at EuroRSCG we’re required to meet an increasing demand to develop applications for social networks such as Facebook. This is because although Internet and online advertising is still the heart of most ‘online’ business . Today industry leaders in marketing such as Sony, Tony Ferguson and Veet are recognizing that the real ‘gold’ in advertising is not through pushing end users to use a product that they know little about or bringing a banner in front of their face but through word of mouth.
The reality of the matter is if my friends have added a facebook application and have sent me action item on facebook. The psychology of ignoring such an action item would be anti-social. This has been the driving factor in the success to facebook applications.

Description
Materials that will be presented include:

  • Explaination to the Facebook architecture & framework
  • Facebook security and limitations
  • ASP.NET Facebook API
  • Facebook Markup Language (FBML)
  • Facebook javascript (yes, specific to facebook)
  • Facebook application development through IFrame

During the presentation I will be running through live examples in developing facebook applications for both Windows Application and Web Application.
In Windows application development example application will actually be tapping into the API to retrieve individual profile, friends information live from facebook.
In web application we will attempt to create a live facebook application during the presentation through both FBML and Facebook IFrame approach.

Audience
This presentation is vital to anyone working in the digital space and is interested in achieving a core understanding of the Facebook framework and how to develop on one of the most popular social network frameworks in the world.

Credentials
Tom Gao is currently working as the National Technical Director in Australia at EuroRSCG Worldwide one of the largest digital and marketing agency in the world with over 233 offices worldwide. Tom is also a representative on the body of Australian Interactive Media Industry Association (AMIA). Tom is a MCAD, MCSD, MCDBA, MCT as well as the sole author to The Complete Reference to Professional SOA using Visual Studio 2005. Tom is also currently completing his Doctorate in Cryptography at the University of South Australia.

This workshop focuses on the teaching IT professionals the best practices and skills required to successfully design, build, deploy, and operate a business intelligence solution using SQL Server 2005.

Course Summary

During this 5-day course, you will learn about integrating Integration Services, Analysis Services and Reporting Services to build a business intelligence solution. When you complete this course, you will understand how to design, develop, deploy, and operate a business intelligence solution that integrates data from an On-Line Transactional Processing (OLTP) into a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube and delivers reports to business users.

  • Report: Define, deploy, manage, and secure SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) reports that consume data stored in SSAS cubes and in the relational data warehouse and deliver reports to business users.

This course will demonstrate a fully working end-to-end solution, including extensive demos, hands-on labs, sample projects that will not only teach how to use the new technology, but also illustrate business intelligence and data warehouse best practices.
