A great feature would be to add security over the connection strings that a user can choose from in the server. We have a development and production environment and we want to allow people to write reports but we don't want them hitting production data because they don't always build efficient queries which can take the production database down.

This would help allow access to development and production separately and help keep the DBA from yelling at me :)

Currently, the only way to integrate with Active Directory is to use Federation Services. We do not have a Federation Server nor do we require one. It would be great to add the LDAP information and be able to authenticate with AD. 

While larger organizations use ADFS and its required for Azure, for small networks and organizations, ADFS is overkill for trying to achieve SSO.

 Please consider to provide access to the Report Server API via client (most probably Javascript). We want to get a report rendered in a given format in a Java based application by creating a custom client of the service.

I am using Telerik Reports Server Q1 2016. I have two problems while configuring the Authentication in Reports server. 

1. Save button hides behind the footer. 
Am unable to see the save button for the authentication section. I have set the position in the developer tools and makes it visible. 

2.The external authentication settings cannot be validated.
I am getting this error while saving the authentication settings. 
Please refer the sample values i given in the field. 

Enabled: True
Metadata URI : https://customFederationServer/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml 
Relying Party ID : http://mylap-3918:83 (url of the application)
Authority: https://customFederationServer/adfs
Client ID: 1234

When i enter the above details and click on save button, i got an error "The external authentication settings cannot be validated". 

Any information would help. 

Thanks,
Sankar

Make available through the Expressions editor the User Id  of the user submitting the report. 
Support this feature on Report Server.

Provide the ability to re-brand the Report Server to better fit our corporate identity and better integrate (styling-wise) with our existing apps.

How can I use the Report Server with other Report viewers? (aspnet, mvc, winforms, and wpf viewers)

I found the Report Designer accessing hosted reports by a URL like "http://127.0.0.1:83/FX/Currencies.trdx", but there is no way to pass the server auth parameters.

I tried to do it by code, but the UriReportSource only have the "Parameters" collection that reflect the report parameters, not the server.

Also, take in considration how to accept a server certificate if the report server is running over HTTPS.

The ability to pass a connection string, or prepared data source name, by aspnet/mvc/winforms/wpf viewers.

Do you plan to support sub-reports?
If yes, take in-considration passing its reports via server interface, scheduled jobs, or by aspnet/mvc/winforms/wpf viewers.

Add a "Shared resources" directory to contain images and logos used by hosted reports.

I'm using Crystal Enterprise for a longtime, and would like to replace it with that tool.
 On of the most useful feature is scheduling (for time-hungry reports, that takes more than 20 minutes to be generated).

It will be a plus if you add:
* The ability to choose the Execution start time, and frequancy; and to enable or disable the schedule job without lossing it.
* Add a menu item called "Schedule Jobs", to view all schedule jobs of any accessible report (per profile; Admin can see all categories by profiles).
* The ability to execute on-demond (execute disabled or enabled schedules for prepared parameters).
* The ability to sign the generated PDF.
* The ability to send generated PDF to mail (one or more), and to set the mail subject and body.
* nerated PDF to folder (local, remote with auth) or FTP.The ability to save the ge
* The ability to view schedule execution history, and view its result; and Add option to clear old results.
* No "time out" for longer generation process.
* Schedule jobs queued per user profiles;
* Admin can set priority to user profiles (to execute queued jobs), and can cancel jobs.

> Ability to build directories for storing reports; and allow assigning user permissions per user.
> So, Application A, will have its reports in Directory A; Application B, will have its reports in Directory B.
> It will be a plus if you support a hierarchy or sub-directories.
> It will be a plus if you add user group, to be assign by group.

I could not see the feature "Fast loading of reports" anywhere in the Report Server as like in SSRS Processing Options.

How is that working in the Telerik Report Server ?

No matter what I try, I get this error when previewing a report:

An error has occurred while processing Report 'SomeReport': Unable to establish a connection to the database. Please, verify that your connection string is valid. In case you use a named connection string from the application configuration file, make sure the name is correct and the connection string settings are present in the configuration file of your application. ------------- InnerException ------------- Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0.

However, everything works great while in the designer.

Any info would help.

We use the Kendo MVC controls in our website that is hosted on Microsoft Azure. We would like to do reporting but cannot with the Telerik reporting functionality - as far as I am aware. Cloud based websites are increasing in number....

One of the biggest draw backs I am having while pitching the Telerik reporting products is the amount of work that would be involved in converting our existing report libraries to the Telerik reporting format. You all have some conversion capability built into the Telerik Reporting Designer, but it is so limited that we rarely find a report that we can use it with. I know you all have a disclaimer stating that as the case. However when I am trying to persuade my peers to take a look at your reporting products that single scenario is the one that I can never win and rightfully so.

I would really love to either see operability within your reporting server to be able to schedule and distribute a multitude of report formats such as SRSS, Active Reports, and Crystal or a much more reliable and feature rich converter. 

The current version of reporting service seems to have issues with the newer servicestack libraries. The only way I could get the ServiceStack Service implementation to work is to use the following dependencies (attached). What is the official supported version of ServiceStack and when will newer version be supported?
