Setting up SSRS
Configuring Authentication
The collector harvests from SSRS using Basic Authentication:
Follow the instructions in the Microsoft documentation to set up basic authentication on your SSRS environment.
Create a user that the collector will use for authentication and harvesting of SSRS objects.
Apply the Browser role to the user you just created.
These authentication details are used while configuring the CLI for the collector.
