We currently have a BOE XI R2 reporting system for our independent clients. They access their reports through a website that has a Web Component Adapter pointing to our BOE Server. This reporting interface is embedded in a Java web application. We're thinking of replacing this with SSRS.

The question is: Would we be able to replicate most of the features from BOE in SSRS? We have about 17,000 users, with about 200 different reports. These users are authenticated through the BOE repository. They do not have Windows accounts. We have some reports that are delivered according to various schedules.

I'm not worried about replicating the report designs. I do need to know if we can control users, groups, permissions, etc. in SSRS in a similar fashion without necessarily creating a windows account for each user. We do have a database that contains the users who log into our external agent website. Also, is it possible to embed a .ASP solution (SSRS) into a java web application (Websphere platform).

Not asking how to do it, just asking if it can be done at this point.

Thanks.
Gill
