Help needed for SSRS 2005(Regarding Individual folder Security)

Hi Experts,
I am working on SSRS 2005.
I want to implement security for each folder for different users on my
report server.
I have 6 different folders on my report server and I want that any
person can open them after entering a valid username and password. I
want set different username and password for each folder not a single
password for all folders.
I am not finding anyway to do this. So if anybody have any idea about
this please tell me.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards

Normally, you would tie the folder-level security into Windows
authentication, based on user and group access (via select a folder ->
select the Properties tab -> select Security on the left-hand side ->
Edit item security on the top). You might make a new role w/only
certain members and that role only has access to certain folders;
however, again this is windows authentication based. The only other
way to go about it would be to create a parameter in each report that
accepts text input and use this as a password. Sorry that I could not
be of greater assistance.

This is not how Windows works. Consider this the same as if you had a file
server and were trying to do this. You could not do it.
Same result is to do the following. Create 6 local groups. To the local
groups add the users (you can add either individual domain users or domain
groups to the local groups). Then use these groups when setting up roles and
access to the folders.
You should read up on roles and security in RS.
One other possibility is to implement forms security. This is where you
integrate your own authentication mechanism.
