Call SQL Server Reporting Services from MS CRM workflow activity

Question

My task is to generate printable report within MS CRM 2011 interface.

Is there any recommended way to access SQL Server Reporting Service within CRM hosted code? I don't want to connect directly, since it requires passing correct credentials to correct URL — and this information differs from installation to installation.

So I either need to create setup table to save all connection information, or I should hard-code it and recompile.

Is there any generic solution to this problem?

Unfortunately the only way I found is to use Reporting Services endpoint and credentials to access it. I wrote article about it - http://a33ik.blogspot.com/2012/11/general-approaches-to-generation-of.html
