  How to add Custom Authentication in SSRS 2016 - Using ADFS & OWIN

  Jun 08, 2018 10:44 AM|puneetshrma|LINK

  I am working on adding custom authentication on top of SSRS 2016. There is a very good article available to do the same

  Custom SecuritySample 2016 - https://github.com/Microsoft/Reporting-Services/tree/master/CustomSecuritySample2016

  The steps Microsoft have provided to add custom authentication is basically adding forms authentication in which user name/password is taken as input on logon.aspx. I did this and it worked as expected. But my requirement is to authenticate user using ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services). And luckily there is another good article available to http://dotnetcurry.com/windows-azure/1166/aspnet-mvc-multiple-adfs-owin-katana

   Thanks to above article I was able to authenticate using ADFS and OWIN in sample MVC web Forms application.

  But here is the problem, when I am trying to add the above sample login into Custom Security Sample provided by Microsoft(link above provided). I am getting an exception 

  Exception of type 'System.Web.HttpUnhandledException' was thrown.					 
  No owin.Environment item was found in the context.

  So here is what I am doing.

  1. I added Startup.cs file in CustomSecuritySample2016 solution provided https://github.com/Microsoft/Reporting-Services/tree/master/CustomSecuritySample2016 on GitHub.
  2. Then also added Startup.Auth.cs file under App_Start folder.
  3. Modified the web.config file to add following settings.

  <add key="owin:AppStartup" value="Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.CustomSecurity.Startup, Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.CustomSecurity" />
  <add key="owin:AutomaticAppStartup" value="true" />

  4. Then on Page_Load event of Logon.aspx I am just trying to access the GetOwinContext method by extending HttpContext.

  private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)        
  {            
         var ct = HttpContext.Current.GetOwinContext();
  }

  5. Rest of the changes are exactly the same as mentioned in custom security sample 2016 code on GitHub(Link above).

  I already googled for this exception and I have already added this setting as per the right answers out there but mine is still giving this exception.

  <add key="owin:AppStartup" value="Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.CustomSecurity.Startup, Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.CustomSecurity" />
  <add key="owin:AutomaticAppStartup" value="true" />

  Is is because SSRS don't allow to load any DLL that is not added in RSReportServer.config?

  Note: I already posted this question on msdn community and they asked me to post here for any luck!!

  Hi Puneetsharma,

  Try to clean the Asp.Net temporary files and again try to perform the steps and check whether it works or not.

  I also suggest you to post the issue in MVC forum as you are using MVC project.

  So it can be helpful if the issue is related with MVC.

  Regards
