Configured SSL but Report mangaer is NOT coming up!!

  • I have followed the steps mentioned in the below link

    http://blogs.msdn.com/mariae/archive/2007/12/12/ssl-configuration-and-reporting-services.aspx

    I have verified the certicate name in IIS by going defaul webite->Directory security--> View certificate

    Issued to *.abc.com

    In details tab of certificate properties, I have the below:

    CN = *.ab.com

    OU = Domain Control Validated - xyzSSL(R)

    OU = See http://www.xyzssl.com/resources/cps (c)08

    OU = FC30223334

    O = *.abc.com

    C = US

    1. While COnfiguring Reporting services from Reporting services configuration Manager

    Under Report Server virtual directory, I tried giving certificate name as servername.abc.com (Is this correct?)

    2. I changed the below in RSReportServer.config:

    <UrlRoot>http://servername.abc.com/reportserver</UrlRoot&gt; to <UrlRoot>https://servername.abc.com/reportserver</UrlRoot&gt;

    3. I have verified the below in RSWebApplication.config:

    <Configuration>

    <UI>

    <ReportServerUrl>https://servername.abc.com/reportserver</ReportServerUrl&gt;

    <ReportServerVirtualDirectory></ReportServerVirtualDirectory>

    <ReportBuilderTrustLevel>FullTrust</ReportBuilderTrustLevel>

    </UI>

    Here, the url is already to set to https://servername.abc.com/reportserver

    Now I went and open https://servername.abc.com/reportserver, a popup coming asking me to connect to the server as shown in the attachment fig 1.

    Eventhough I provide Administrator user & password, it NOT allowing me!!

    If I enterthe url https://servername/reportserver, then it's working fine. But getting the popup shown in attachmnet fig2.

    and if I click Yes, then I'm able to go to Reportserver URL & able to see reporting services version.

    4. I entered the URL https://servername.abc.com/reports, then a popup coming asking me to connect to the server as shown in the attachment fig 1

    Eventhough I provide Administrator user & password, it NOT allowing me!!

    If I enterthe url https://servername/reports, then I'm getting the below error:

    The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.

    I appreciate if somebody guide me in a right direction. I did NOT understand where I'm doing wrong. I tried all the options but still NOT able to set the reportserver and Report manager URLs to https

    Thanks

  • Any help would be appreciated..

    Thanks

  • I came to know that it's a wild card certificate and we can use any name in place of * in the certificate name *.abc.com

    So I have used server name in place of * as below

    servername.abc.com while configuring Reportserver virtual directory from Reporting services configuration manager tool. Is that correct>? or I need to give *.abc.com here.

    but still I'm getting the same error while opening report manager url https://servername/reports

    The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.

    please advice

  • I got resolved this by performing the steps mentioned in Method1 from the link

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;896861

    But I have a question here:

    1. Is this change going to effect any security thing?

    2. In the applies to section, it's says, it's only applies to Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1

    (In windows 2003 family). But we have Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2. But even though

    we have SP2, I applied the fix and it's working.

    any inputs will be appreciated
