RS.exe Script utility and Forms Authentication

We have successfully implemented Forms Authentication using Custom Security
Extension. It works fine except the RS Script Utility unable to deploy
reports either locally on the report server itself or remotely from
workstation.
I could not connect to the report server. The command I used:
rs -s http://reportservername/reportserver -i PublishReports.rss -u username
-p password
The error message: Could not connect to server:
http://reportservername/ReportServer/ReportService2005.asmx
I'm not sure how the authentication ticket works with the rs utility.
Thanks,
Dawit T.You need to retrieve and cache the cookie and pass it manually with each
request just like you would do with WinForm applications. With web-based
access, the browser does it for you. With other clients, you are on your
own.
You may find this sample useful (assuming that you use RS 2000).

APIs have been split into two web services -Management and Execution. I am
not sure if my sample will compile at all with RS 2005 once you dereference
the web service. Give it a try.

I could be able to run the sample in RS 2005 and converted it into VB.Net.
Now, I'm to run it as RS script. However, I've face some basic issues:
1. I think rs instance (ReportServiceProxy) is created by the RS Utility
and the script uses it by referencing what the environment provided (rs). How
can I intercept the rs call to another instance that implemented/overriden
the default GetWebRequest & GetWebResponse for the cookie management?
2. RS Utility runs code between Public Sub Main()...End Sub. Can I import
or reference the custom ReportServiceProxy? Can there be two
ReportServiceProxy instances, one created by RS Utility another by the
script? How do I make RS utility be aware of the custome proxy?
Thanks,
Dawit.

the rss script. Here is something you can try.
The rs variable should inherit from SoapHttpClientProtocol because it is a
web service proxy. As such, it exposes a CookieContainer property which
allows you to set or get cookies. In other words, instead of inheriting from
the proxy, see if you could manage the auth cookie directly. I haven't tried
it so it may not work.

RS variable exposes CookieContainer property. The problem is to catch the
auth cookie first time when rs utility gets authenticated by the web service
proxy.
Command line rs authentication occurs using:
rs -s http://reportservername/reportserver -i PublishReports.rss -u username
-p password
How do I also send the stored cookie with the request, eg during
rs.CreateFolder(parentFolder, "/", Nothing) operation?
Thanks,
Dawit.

call the management proxy to return the cookie. Well, worst come to worse,
you can whip out your own console app (rsex.exe :-0).
