Reporting Services on Internet

Hi,
I am doing some researches about how the reporting services can be use on
the public (internet) instead of just intranet. Could someone please give me
a hint (link / sample) about how this can be achived and how security is this
on the internet.
Thanks

These 2 links are to web hosting sites for SSRS. They might be able to
provide some detailed answers.

As far as security goes,
http://www.webhost4life.com/kb/question.php?qstId=209 will show you how you
can do it if you don't *care* about security <shrug>.
One good idea would be to be sure and use SSL for this purpose on top of
whatever else you decide.
Another good idea would be to write a security extension for forms
authentication -- (but read this short post first
http://msmvps.com/blogs/anguslogan/archive/2004/10/03/14772.aspx)
I think there is a sample of doing this
http://blogs.msdn.com/bimusings/archive/2005/12/05/500195.aspx -- if you
can't find the sample read this blog post
http://weblogs.asp.net/plip/archive/2006/09/21/Microsoft-Documentation-_2D00_-Where-is-the-sample-code_3F00_.aspx
and here is an article (with source) doing something like what you need

I am wracking my brains for where I saw a good general overview on extension
writing for RS from an MS blog -- here it is, it's not long and it's very
useful perspective)

Last but not least, security issues have to be discussed with this caveat:
receiving permissions have to be handled differently if you are integrating
with Sharepoint. So if you're doing that be sure to ask the question "is
this applicable in a Sharepoint integration scenario" before sweating over
it!
