Deploying a Report Server for Internet Access
Settings in the rswebapplication.config file provide values that are used to direct requests from Report Manager to a report server. By default, the configuration file includes ReportServerUrl. Report Manager uses this value to find the report server that contains server state information and stored items. In an intranet deployment model, the Report Manager connects to a report server using a network name (for example, http://server01/reportserver).
To access a report server on the Internet, you must add a ReportServerExternalURL configuration setting that specifies the fully qualified domain name of the report server. The external client uses this value to access a report server. In this scenario, the browser that is hosting Report Manager must send a fully qualified domain name when making requests on behalf of Report Manager to the report server.
