Setting up SSRS
Configuring Authentication
The collector harvests from SSRS using Basic Authentication:
If your SSRS instance does not basic authentication configured, 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.
