SSRS Extreanl images from reporting server url not working in server

Question

Hi,

I am using Image from SSRS reporting server as Image item external source.
It is displaying in design mode but once I deployed report to reporting server, the image will not display.

I am deploying report to same SSRS reporting server which the image is available.

Image path like as below
https://ReportingServerName/Reports/api/v2.0/CatalogItems(3b261f7f-5bbc-49b3-ae1b-c897a112e10b)/Model.Resource/Content/$value

May I know the reasons for this issue? Can you please suggest solution to access image from reporting server by url?

Thanks in advanced.

Regards,
Srinivas.

Hi Srinivas,

You will need to configure an Unattended Execution Account for the report server. You can do this through the Reporting Services Configuration Manager.

configure-the-unattended-execution-account-ssrs-configuration-manager

And then,create a folder on Report Manager, eg: image.

Grant the Unattended Execution Account the Browser role on that folder.

Upload images to the folder.

Edit the report in Visual Studio, set the image to External and the "Use this image" to "/image/mypic.png" (without quotes).

Deploy the report.

The image will display in the report.

For reference: specifying-paths-to-external-items-report-builder-and-ssrs

Here is my report on the report server.

If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

If your problem has been solved, please mark "accepted answer" on my reply, thank you for your understanding.
