How to secure Reporting services ?

• Add the assemblies of Visual Guard as references of your project.
• Integrate Visual Guard in the code of your application.
• Create a Visual Guard repository and declare your application by using the
  Visual Guard console. This repository will contain all security items (users,
  roles, permissions …) of your application.
• Generate the Visual Guard configuration
  files by using the Visual Guard console. These configuration files will be
  needed to connect your application to the repository.
• Grant read/write permissions to the repository.

Referencing Visual Guard assemblies

• Opens the solution of your project in Visual Studio.
• In the solution explorer, expands the project node.
• Right-click the Project node for the project and select
  Add Reference from the shortcut menu.
• In .Net tab, select the 4 assemblies
  1. Novalys.VisualGuard.Security
  2. Novalys.VisualGuard.Security.<ProjectType> (WinForm,
     ASP.net),
  3. Novalys.VisualGuard.Security.<RepositoryType> (Files, SQLServer or Oracle)
  4. Novalys.VisualGuard.Security.<ApplicationFrameworkType> (Depending on type of application’s framework, whether .NetFramework or .NetCore)

And, then click the Select button, and then click the OK button

Note
In the list of assemblies, Visual Studio can display different versions of the Visual Guard assemblies. You must select the assembly corresponding to the version of the framework used in your project.

Note
Once the Visual Guard assemblies are referenced into project, you need to mark “Copy Local” property to “true” for each assembly.

Note
You must add either Novalys.VisualGuard.Security.NetFramework or Novalys.VisualGuard.Security.Core (Depending on type of application’s framework)

• Novalys.VisualGuard.Security contains the main Visual Guard classes.
• Novalys.VisualGuard.Security.Files contains the classes needed to access
  to a file based repository.
• Novalys.VisualGuard.Security.SQLServer contains the classes
  needed to access to a repository stored in a Microsoft SQLServer database
  (SQLServer 2000 or higher). Available only in Visual Guard Enterprise Edition
• Novalys.VisualGuard.Security.Oracle
  contains the classes needed to access to a repository stored in an Oracle
  database (8i or higher). Available only in Visual Guard Enterprise Edition
• Novalys.VisualGuard.Security.WebForm contains the classes
  needed to ASP.Net application. You must reference this assembly in ASP.Net
  WebSite or ASP.Net WebService project.
• Novalys.VisualGuard.Security.WinForm contains all classes based on WinForm
  control. This assembly is needed only if you use the forms provided by Visual
  Guard to authenticate, change a password or select a role. If you want to use
  your own form you do not need to add a reference to this assembly.
• Novalys.VisualGuard.Security.NetFramework contains all classes required to support .Net Framework applications.
  This assembly is needed only if you want to integrate Visual Guard in .net framework applications.
• Novalys.VisualGuard.Security.Core contains all classes required to support .Net Core applications.
  This assembly is needed only if you want to integrate Visual Guard in .net core applications.

Adding Visual Guard in your WinForm project

Adding Visual Guard in your ASP.Net application

Filter data depend of the connected user login

• Create parameters in your dataset,
• Create a property to initialise your parameter,
• Intialise the parameter of the report with the property,
• Create a permissions in Visual Guard.

Create a parameter in your dataset

• Open the dataset,
• Select the querry in the data Adapter,
• Modify the command text to create a filter in the querry,

Create a property to initialise your user name

public string User 
{ 
  get; 
  set; 
}

Intialise the parameter of the report with the property

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Execute the querry and intialise the parameter with the property
    this.vg_LogTableAdapter1.Fill(this.MyDataSet.vg_Log, User);

    // Execute the report
    this.reportViewer1.RefreshReport();
}

Create a permissions in Visual Guard

• Open Visual Guard Console,
• Select your application,
• Create a new Permission (cf: Create a new Permission in the

• Create a property action (cf:Properties actions in the
  documentation “Visual Guard Console”),

• Select the form where you create the property,
