Reporting Services – Host header and Windows Authentication

reportingssrs

SQL 2016 – Enterprise Edition
Windows 2016
Reporting Services runs on domain account (SPN registered for new host header)

Problem:
When adding a host header in Reporting Services Configuration tool, like reports.server.net, users need to login to the reporting services.
When I remove the host header and try to connect to hostname/reports I do not get prompted for user/password.

Fact:
– When i use the default site address http://servername/Reports, before adding a new host header, the site opens up without login prompt

What I've done:

I can't seem to add a host header without beening forced to login, despite above.

Anyone been here?
