External Access
Web Workbench is a .NET web application. A public domain name and a valid web certificate are required to enable secure HTTPS protocol that allows secure external access to Web Workbench on public networks. For on-premise installations, It is up to client IT to organise and manage the domain name and certificate, as well as the network infrastructure that directs user requests to the web server.
Optional: SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)
Staring from version 4.2 WebWorkbench Web Workbench now has a Report Server Local Mode that removes the need for SSRS to render web reports. With this mode turned on, the web application renders the reports locally with Microsoft ReportViewer Controls.
WebWorkbench Web Workbench requires SSRS to render reports in the web browser. In most cases SSRS is installed on the same host as the SQL Server, although it may also be installed on a separate server if using non-Express versions of SQL Server.
WebWorkbench Web Workbench can work without SSRS being setup except users will not be able to view reports via the web browser.
See the Microsoft SQL Server section information about SSRS requirements.
Workbench MDE Version
WebWorkbench Web Workbench requires Workbench MDE version of at least 7.40.2.0.
