Remarks

The report server sends the SharePoint user's security token to a data processing extension under the following circumstances:

  • The report server is in SharePoint integrated mode.

  • The data processing extension implements the ITokenDataExtension interface.

It is recommended that you configure the unattended execution account on the report server. If the report server cannot obtain a user token, it creates a SharePoint token of its unattended execution account. For more information, see Configuring the Unattended Execution Account.

The report server will allow the data source to use stored, non-windows credentials. A best practice is to avoid implementing revert-to-self logic because the result may be the Report Server service identity is used when connecting to data sources.
