Anonymous access

Officially the line seems to be that only accredited users can access
Reports, but I've seen suggestions for work arounds. What are the best
options for allowing Users access to Reports Services from a different
domain, apart from requiring them to enter user credentials every time
they point their browser at the ReportsServer. There seems to be
suggestions that with some tweaking Anonymous users can run reports.
I'm invoking reports from a C# desktop app by building the url - is
there some way to pass the credentials in the url? I know how to
generate reports entirely from C# code(and pass credentials), but that
loses the interactive functionality of the browser interface...
brian smithThis doesn't completely answer your question but it does address "anonymous
access"

Not trivially.
