Answer 1

Answer:

Forms Authentication

The security technique called forms authentication allows for a database table of usernames and passwords to be used for the authentication against Reporting Services. Forms authentication is an advanced configuration which, though complex to set up, allows for greater flexibility when designing the reporting solution. The reason that it allows for greater flexibility is that forms authentication permits users to use a username and password that are stored securely within a database table, or LDAP database, and so on, allowing for the Reporting Services authentication to be keyed off of another application’s authentication provider instead of being tied specifically to Active Directory authentication.
