RS Forms Authentication

I am currently developing an asp.net web application that uses reporting
services within it. I have the web app running on one machine and reporting
services running on another server with sql server 2000. Pretty much the
forms authentication and role-based membership to log into report manager and
to view reports within the asp.net application works flawlessly.
Currently, a user logs into my application. When they select a report to
view, they are forced to login to report server since they have not been
authenticated by report server. What I am trying to do is to combine both
login process into one. Basically, when a user logs into the application, it
should also automatically authenticate and log them into report server as
well. That way, when they go to view a report, they would not have to log in
again. I have tried copying and using the same code that the forms
authentication for reporting services uses into my web app but it doesn't
work -> no authentication cookie is generated. Anyone have any ideas.
Thanks in advance.Anyone?|||James,
Did you get this working? I am in a similar situation and RS always
prompts for login as well.

file that I created for the reporting services custom security and just
called the server.LogonUser(...) method within my own application login.
