We have an custom OLEDB provider which works in SSRS 2005 with anonymous access enabled. Since SSRS 2008, does not support anonymous access, I gave access rights to NTSERVICE to run the report. When I run the report, im getting the following error "Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSource1'. The server threw an exception". I verified that the OLEDB provider is installed properly in my machine. Can anyone help me, what I have to do now, to make sure that SSRS 2008 connects to my OLEDB provider? Is there any security configuration missing?

I imagine when you developed the report in BIDS, you were able to create the data source and connect to it and run the report in test mode successfully?

Apologize for the late reply. The reports was developed in RS 2005 and it was working good with anonymous access. When I deploy it to RS 2008, it could not generate report. I had tested my OLE DB provider and it was working fine. I think RS 2008 could not communicate with the OLE DB provider. What I have to do to make sure my OLE DB provider is invoked by RS 2008?
