Can we encrypt a report in reporting services?

Can we encrypt a report in reporting services?

thanks in advance

Hi Chandra,

At what point do you want to encrypt the report? The actual renderered report? The report definition? The data that makes up the report?

Reporting Services does not have special encryption for a renderered report. Instead, the technologies that RS uses have built in encryption. SQL Server, IIS with SSL, File shares where a report may be stored, encrypted email, etc...

That is fine brad and thanks for the update.

But what is that msdn2 talks at Initializing a Report Server (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157133.aspx) is it report server database encryption? How does that helps some one looking for reports encryption?

could you explain that?

thanks
