Comments on: Reporting Services 2008 and SSL http://blog.hoegaerden.be/2009/05/24/reporting-services-2008-and-ssl/ SQL Server, BI, .NET, IT and anything else I have been playing with.

I believe that despite the fact Microsoft made SSRS very "webby" it was was intended to accessed outside of the local network and over the web. Most features in the report builder don't work at all without a direct connection to the database/data source!!! I was hoping that this could be a step towards ad-hoc reporting for some users outside of my firewall but I'm quickly finding out that is not the case. :-( I've read a little bit about SQL Server 2008 R2 and there appears to be some promising new things that are moving towards this goal but we'll have to wait until May 2010 to find out for sure.
