Namespace:  ReportService2010
Assembly:  ReportService2010 (in ReportService2010.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property ImpersonateUser As Boolean
    Get
    Set
'Usage
Dim instance As DataSourceDefinition
Dim value As Boolean

value = instance.ImpersonateUser

instance.ImpersonateUser = value

public bool ImpersonateUser { get; set; }

public:
property bool ImpersonateUser {
    bool get ();
    void set (bool value);
}

member ImpersonateUser : bool with get, set

function get ImpersonateUser () : boolean
function set ImpersonateUser (value : boolean)

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the report server is set to impersonate a user; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Remarks

When set to true, a data extension tries to impersonate the user authenticated to the report server at the data source after a connection has been established.

Note

ImpersonateUser is only supported by the SQL Server data extension that is included with Report Server.

When set to false, the report server passes credentials to the data source.

Impersonation may be performed only when CredentialRetrieval is set to Store.

The value for the ImpersonateUser property has a corresponding ImpersonateUserSpecified property that indicates whether this property should be omitted from the Web service call.
