Create Report with Credentials

I have a report with a data source that requires credentials to be stored in
reporting service system.
I use the CreateReport function to deploy this report but it doesn't store
the credentials and these credentials are requested when it is about to
render.
How to store these credentials in order to avoid them to be asked during
rendering'
ThanksIn our case, we use script based on the scripting samples (in the RS install
folder), but link the reports to a shared data source created with the
credentials specfied:
Public Sub CreateSQLDataSource(ByVal serverName as String, ByVal
databaseName as String, ByVal userName as String, ByVal password as String)
Dim name As String = databaseName
Dim parent As String = "/"
'Define the data source definition.
Dim definition As New DataSourceDefinition()
definition.CredentialRetrieval = CredentialRetrievalEnum.Integrated
definition.ConnectString = "data source=" & serverName & ";initial
catalog=" & databaseName
definition.Enabled = True
definition.EnabledSpecified = True
definition.Extension = "SQL"
definition.ImpersonateUser = False
definition.ImpersonateUserSpecified = True
definition.Username = userName
definition.Password = password
'Use the default prompt string.
definition.Prompt = Nothing
definition.WindowsCredentials = False
Try
rs.CreateDataSource(name, parent, False, definition, Nothing)
Catch e As Exception
Console.WriteLine(e.Message)
End Try
End Sub

Hopefully that points you in the right direction.
