Server details as well as the issue are in the attached screenshot.
We are seeing an issue where the user name and "always ask for your credentials" are grayed out/readonly when setting the destination in Remote Desktop.
There doesn't seem to be much on the internet in regards to this issue. Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I have a report set up for a department. The data is accessed on a replicated server on the backend with a fixed password.
What I normally do is add a new role for the user accessing the report as a browser, then they can see the report and work from there.
However, the machine that is being used to access a new report is logged on under a general user account and neets to remain this way, the report that is being accessed is confidential and can only be accessed by certain staff members.
I have played around with the security settings to see if windows authentication would work but i struggled.
What I was hopping to achieve was the following:
let a user access the report on the machine via a password to run the report (preferably their user log on detais even though the machine will be logged on under a different user).
If this is not possible, would it be possible to create a password protected report using parameters?
apologies If i am not clear, I am happy to explain further if needed.
As far as I know it is only possible to protect a report using AD credentials. This works fine, but is not useable if there are non-AD users who have to access the report.
What you can do is generate an SSRS report as a password protected PDF using SQL-RD and send it on a schedule.
You could try setting the access to the report itself at the report level. In Reporting Services you navigate to the report and click the down arrow to the right of the report name.
On the next screen you make sure the Security tab is highlighted. You can then add groups or users (Domain\User) and their roles for that report. Even though this is not password protecting the report it is limiting access to only authorized individuals.
I have come up with a work around.
I have added the users I wanted to have access to the Security tab.
Using powershell I have created a script to ask for credentials to open "internet explorer" as the user I want to have access.
Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" http://PATHTOMYREPORT -Credential (Get-Credential)
From here I then created a batch file that would execute this powershell script for me
#ECHO OFF
PowerShell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& 'C:\powershellscript.ps1'"
I then created a shortcut to the batch file on the desktop, in the shortcut options I set it to run as minimized so the batch file output wouldnt appear, i renamed the shorcut after my report. Gave it an inconspicuos icon.
So what happens when someone double clicks the icon?
they get asked for their organisation log on details in a neat window.
when they enter their details the report should open successfully in internet explorer provided they have been added as a report browser to the security element of the report as outlined by #B.Serbele.
If a non intended user opens it, enters their details, it just crashes out.
No doubt you may find issues with this, i.e. someone can access the C drive and delete the powershell script or shortcut etc etc.
But its the best I could do with the set up we have at the moment.
Hope it may help someone.
I have a User GPO set that edits Trusted Sites within IE. This is working correctly for our users on Win7. However, the same policy is not working correctly for the same user on Win10. Does anybody have an idea as to why this may be?
We were able to find the GPO that was causing this issue and get it corrected. Unfortunately, I don't have the rep to attach photos. I believe the GPO was called "Security Zones: Do not allow users to add/delete sites". Thanks for your help!
I am trying to access the security settings in the ASP.NET Web Configuration tool.
I read the MSDN tutorial at : MSDN
I also found how to make the tool run from this answer
I am getting the following error when I click the 'Security' link on the web config tool page:
There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Unable to connect to SQL Server database.
I did find a similar question, but the message to diagnose the problem is different in my case.
Can someone please help ?
Thanks.
Update:
Didn't resolve the issue yet, but tried it on a different machine.
Before showing the ASP.NET Web Configuration tool page, it asks for username and password. I tried following this answer, but it still asks for username and password.
Which username and password is required here ?
Thanks.
I create a role named as XYZ_Role. Then i create a user abc, Edit the user, then I click on Manage Roles for this User, Then i add XYZ_Role role to this user. Now on page there is edit for this role. \
Now i open this page, then go to module setting, then give edit right to this Role XYZ_Role.
Now i sign out from administrator user. Then i login as "abc" . Now i open this page. I found View/ Edit option (No design option here.). I choose Edit option, now i change the content, and click on save icon but it shows me error as given below :
400 - Exception of type 'DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.SecurityException' was thrown.
I am using DNN 4.09.05/ Windows XP Version 2002, Service Pack 3/ IIS V5.1
But if i give right to this page from admin --> Pages to XYZ_Role role, then we have to click on Edit Text which work fine.
Please suggest.

I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of DNN. 4.9.5 is many years old and there are hundreds of bugs, including security bugs, that have been fixed.

Check the security tips from https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/5598/permission-problem-in-sales-forece and http://boards.developerforce.com/t5/Force-com-Sites-Site-com/page-is-showing-insufficient-privilege/td-p/233797
If you're sure the security of the Site is fine - try to debug the site https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/1149/how-can-i-get-a-debug-log-for-the-sites-guest-user-public-profile (because you might be getting an Apex error that's not being displayed on your VF page).
Did the site used to work or is it new? If it's new I'm betting on permissions (first 2 links), Guest User profile should be examined if he has access to the objects you're using...
Last but not least: there's a bug they've fixed 5 days ago: http://success.salesforce.com/issues_view?id=a1p30000000RivgAAC Maybe you need to use this workaround, maybe you simply can clone the site and it'll work fine...
you have to check your profile, and i guess that there is someone who have created the profile for you and delegate you to be an administrator, if this is not your problem, you have to go to your personnal informations and click edit and you may find a checkbox which concerns "Site Publisher" you have to check it to be able to create and publish your site :)
