Cannot Set URL For Report Server SSL Binding In SSRS 2008R2

Hi,
I have an SSL certificate that has a number of subject alternate names and I need the SSL binding for the report server and the report manager to be against one of these names, not the certificate name.
However, while it is possible to set the host header for a non-SSL identity and therefore control the URL reserved, it does not seem possible to set this for an SSL identity - the edit dialogue box simply generates the URL when you choose the certificate
from the dropdown box.
How do I set the URL for a report server SSL binding?
Cheers
Dan

Hi Charlie,
You are correct, i am configuring SSL connections on a native mode report server and i want to configure a custom URL for it.
However, my issue is not that I cannot see the certficate - it is that I cannot set a custom URL for SSL connections. Apologies, I should have written up an example of what I am seeing:-
I have installed a certificate for a.company.com. It shows up fine in the certificate list/dropdown for configuring the web service URL SSL certificate.
I can set a host header for non-SSL traffic for a.company.com and the binding succeeds. I can also set an SSL identity in the same Advanced Multiple Web Site Configuration window for a.company.com and this also binds correctly.
However, the certficate is like a wildcard in that it supports 4 more URLs in its subject alternate name property. I would like to set an SSL identity for b.company.com which is one of those entries.
As an aside, the certificate is also installed in IIS and succeeds in binding to b.company.com. I mention this as it shows that the certificate appears to be installed correctly and is working in its wildcard-like capacity.
I can also successfully set a host header for b.company.com for the report server for non-SSL traffic. It is b.company.com that I would like to host the report server and manager under.
The issue I have is that if I try to add an SSL identity for the report server web service for b.company.com using the Advanced Multiple Web Site Configuration window, there is no editable box for URL and so it does not allow me to set the URL/host
header - it therefore always binds to a.company.com.
I have scoured the boards for answers and there have been a couple of mentions, but neither has worked for me.
This one talks about adding the required
https://b.company.com/reportserver to the rsreportserver.config file and the OP describes the issue pretty much exactly as I am experiencing plus the responder talks about this guidance as coming from MS support - however when I followed the steps the result
is the same as without the configuration:-
http://www.sql-server-performance.com/forum/threads/ssrs-2008-host-headers-and-ssl.28571/
Another suggestion (for which I have lost the link) was to amend the URL config in that file directly and add the required entry. Both posters claim it has worked for them so I am sure that using a wildcard certificate with SSRS does work! I think in my
case I am missing some extra steps as it is fine to amend the config file directly, but I don't think this actually kicks off the SSL/URL binding process which is what the dialogue window does.
Hope this helps in explaining further. I am sure this is resolvable as I cannot believe the only option for SSRS is to bind to a single domain name and ignore the other wildcard/alternate options.
Cheers

Cannot connect to the report server

I try to submit a report using RWCLIENT (see below), but getting the error:
"REP-0178 Cannot connect to the report server 'rep_M2003-056DVM_ora10gas' "
If I use URL, the report runs fine.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Dmitri
C:\OraDev10g\BIN\rwclient userid=user/password@database module=txr1020 batch=yes paramform=no DESTYPE=LOCALFILE desformat=pdf desname="M:\txr1020.pdf" AUTHID=ias_admin/iasadmin1 server=repser

We have Reports 10.1.2.
RWCLIENT (10g iDS) is installed on different machine.
On OracleAS I have started the Naming Service: namingservice.bat 14021
On client I updated the rwnetwork.conf with OracleAS hostname and 14021.
What is wrong? Maybe I need to start Naming Service using OPMN for report server to register.
Thanks.

BPC 75M - Modify Application error "Cannot connect to the Reporting Server"

I have trouble with Modify Application, also in ApShell. Maybe you have a clue what it can be the problem.
Configuration: single server BPC 7.5M SP3, Windows Server 2008 SP2, SQL Server 2008 SP2
Installation user is a domain user.
No errors during installation, no error in Server Manager diagnostics.
But when I try to modify an Application from BPC Admin it gives an error for step "Make OLAP database and Journal/Audit reports. / Validate dimension formulas.".

There were problems accessing the web page   HTTP://server/reports
Error message:   "Reporting services 2008 user does not have required permissions"
It was possible to open the page HTTP://server/reports with local administrator user and I fixed this problem by performin following:
- add Content Manager right to bpc installation user
- disable UAC from Windows Control Panel > User Accounts
Still Modify Application gives the same "Cannot connect to Reporting Services".
I tried:
- check that BPC Installation User is part of Local Administrators
- reboot server
- reinstall BPC after disabling UAC
- reinstall everything except the Windows Server 2008
- I installed another computer with the same exact configuration but with a local BPC Installation User and it works.
Have anyone installed BPC 7.5M SP3 on single Windows Server 2008 SP2 , with SQL Server 2008 SP2 and with BPC Installation user a domain user?
Maybe you have an idea of what I should check next.
Thank you,
Alex

Cannot connect to the reporting server error

Hi,
When trying to process an application, I get the error : "cannot connect to the reporting server".
We have the BPC application server on a machine and DB, SSAS and SSRS (SQL 2008) on another machine.
We don't have a named instance, we use the default one.
If I connect to http://%SQLServer%/reports, it works.
What could be the problem ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
we had got the same problem. In the end we:
- Installed RS on the same machine of BPC (Application Server) (please be careful to make a new db if you want to use the same DB Server)
- Configured correctly the server manager to point the new ReportServer
- Edited from SQL Server Management Console the tblAppSetInfo, in order to make the column of the ReportServer of all Application Sets to point to the new report server.
- (not sure was needed) rebooted and restarted all the services
- Tested it and it worked!

Configure logshipping for report server database

Hi All,
Could some one please let me know the steps to be followed to configure logshipping for report server databases.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards, Kranthi

Hi Kranthi,
Based on my understanding, you want to know how to change the roles between primary server and secondary server when primary server goes down. Also you want to know when you should install reporting service on secondary to make sure reporting service could
be used by application team.
When primary server goes down, you should manually fail over to the secondary server and make it your new primary server. Before changing roles between primary server and secondary server, you should initial role change. For more information, please refer
to this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178117.aspx.
Besides, considering lots of time of reporting service installation and downtime during failover, I recommend you to install reporting service on secondary before configuring log shipping. When application team want to use reporting service with reportserver
database after you performing fail over to the secondary server, you can follow bellow steps to reset the database which will be used by reporting service:
Open Reporting Services Configuration Manager\Database.
Click Change database in the Current Report Server Database section.
On Action page, check Choose an existing report server database box. Click Next.
On Database Server page, type the secondary sever name then connect to it. Click Next.
On Database page, select the reportserver database from the drop-down menu of Report Server Database. Click Next.
Set the credentials, then click Finish on Progress and Finish page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,
Qiuyun Yu

How to set up the path for Report Server's output

I've had 9iAS on NT 4 platform with Service Pack 6.
By default, the Report Server's output goes to the
C:\Oracle\806\Bin
How can we change this setting ?
(in 6iserver.conf we don't have a variable for it.)
I'll appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Izabella.

Thanks for reply.
In my \Report60\Server\myrepsvr.ora I have :
cachedir="E:\Oracle\806\REPORT60\server\cache"
but when I call :
http://<host>:<port>/dev60cgi/Rwcgi60.exe?
report=myrep.rdf&destype=file&desformat=pdf
&paramform=no
the created pdf report doesn't go to the specified cashedir, but goes to the
C:\Oracle\806\Bin
How can I handle it ?
I'd like to see the pdf file in the cachedir,
not in Bin.

Cannot update Global Password Policies, no SSL bind, etc

Hello Community--
This is day 3 of the Apple Server Hostage Crisis, and it looks like I'll started clean slate build #5.
By way of background, I had a functioning ML/2.2.2 server that had RAID problems (and still does). Attempting to rebuild array failed and I lost the boot hard drives. I have access to dumpall.psql and all the user data (on an external drive). I attempted a couple of times to build a clean Mavericks/3.0 server but I couldn't figure out how to get the service data back. So I build a clean ML/2.2.2 system, got the wiki/calendar/contacts, etc data back in place to include establishment of an OD master using an archive. Turns out the archive was from one of my Mavericks/3.0 attempts, and while it seemed to create the OD okay, every time I tried to edit the global password policy, Server.app crashed. I decided to try to move up to Mavericks/3.0. Server.app no longer crashed but still cannot change global password policies. I get the following error:
servermgrd[]: servermgr_dirserv: +[PWPolicy setGlobalPolicyFromDict] error: policy data modification failed: Object class violation: attribute 'apple-user-passwordpolicy' not allowed ()
I deleted the OD master a couple of times and recreated it from a new archive. On the second iteration, my PositiveSSL cert was deleted....
Q1: Has anyone seen this password policy error and know how to solve it?
Additionally, although I have (had) the cert from PositiveSSL for my domain, the OD with Server 3 will not use it, instead reverting to a self-signed cert. All other services seem to work with the PositiveSSL cert. I've seen discussions in the community on this but have not found a solution.
Q2: Is this related to why I cannot create a secure binding?
I have not even gotten to the point of trying to set up Profile Manager to manage users and devices. I have not read anywhere that I *need* to have Profile Manger started to get a basic system running. From a Mavericks-based client where I've logged in with a local user, I can su <OD User> and log in, but the automount of the user's home directory fails due to an authentication issue.
Q3: In Mavericks, does a device have to be enrolled/configured in Profile Manager in order to bind and be usable?
Well, I'm off to start my next rebuild, but would still appreciate comments and suggestions as I suspect this hostage crisis is not over yet.
Thanks.
Tim

Rebuilt from scratch and reloaded databases for services and the OD archive. But something was still jacked and passwords wouldn't take. I was starting to suspect it was OD again, but then I decided to completely wipe the device_management database, which I did following these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5349.
That may have gotten me on track, which is good because I was getting ready to recreate each user account. I'll continue the effort tomorrow (day 4).
I have not decided if I will try again for Mavericks/Server 3. Sigh....

SCCM Client Report Tool not opening up correct URL to Report Server

I recently install the SCCM 2012 right click tools and within the downloaded zip file there is SCCMClientToolsSetup2012.exe which adds a whole bunch of additional features when right clicking devices in the console. The problem is no matter what I put as
the Report Server while doing the install, it never opens the reports for the device... It gives me the following error:
Server Error in '/ReportServer' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it
is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx
I have changed the report server virtual directory to match ReportServer from the default, but it still does not open the reports... Any idea what could I might be wrong?
I have the console and right click tools installed on my Windows 7 workstation. the Server is Windows 2012 Datacenter with SQL 2012 and SCCM 2012 R2.
Thanks!
Tony

Yes, it appears to work directly from the console and via web... But it does show Report.aspx vs. ReportViewer.aspx.

RH7- WebHelp Pro setting destination for RH Server 8

I'm trying to set the RH Server 8 "area" in the Destination window using RH7 and WebHelp Pro layout but there's not field available. Because of this, the default is always the "general" area, which means I cannot separate out my 4-5 projects for reporting purposes using the Access database.
FYI - The same is true for FlasHelp Pro layout using RH7 and RH8 (which I'm testing). However, in RH8, you can specify the area if you're using WebHelp Pro as primary layout.
Since I'm not allowed to switch to RH8 at this time because of internal procedures, I want to publish my projects using WebHelp Pro layout in RH7. Is there any way to plug the server area into the project without having to redo the set up every time?

My guess is that John is facilitating a class as he hasn't yet made an appearance. So maybe near lunchtime but more likely this evening unless he is traveling.
Just speculating on this but as Colum indicated, areas are new to 8 so I'd be shocked to see them being listed as an option in a patched up 7.
Cheers... Rick

Setting cookie in report server

I am using CGI based report server and I want to set a cookie to track the session of an user.
For example when a user first make a request for a report through some browser or HREF , and when the parameter form comes back to the browser the report server should send back some cookie to the browser. I am using a CGICMD.dat file for key mapping so the user is transperent to any url details. I don't want any log-in screen should be pop up when the user make the request for the report to the report server. The purpose behind doing all these that if the user try to save the parameter form on the hard disk and later open it on the browser and try to submit it then he can't do because he doesn't have a session because no cookie is there.
So how to achieve this task.
prashant

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by the oracle reports team:
hello,
if you are reffering to the reports security, the cookie is set automatically by the reports server.

the oracle reports team<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Hi
you are true that the cookie is automatically set. Then let's analyze the following situation.
I have requested a report thrugh the URL in the browser and I am using CGICMD.dat for key mapping. Now when I get a parameter form I saved that parameter form (which is in HTML) format to the hard disk. And after exiting from the current browser when I open the saved parameter form from the Hard disk and submit it is submitting the data as usual. Hence the user don't have session with the report server but still it is accepting the request to generate the report. Now on the other hand If I don't mention the user-id/password in the cgicmd.dat file then it pop up a screen to log in to database for everytime you make a request. Which I don't want. So that's why if there is anything we can track the session of a report generation.

Lorna....
All is well....actually doing a little jet-setting
over here and there...you can check the updates on my

Regarding the feedback to Apple....if you ever forget
the website, you can always look under the iWeb menu
while you are working (that's when you run into these
bugs anyways) and pick "Send Feedback to Apple".
That'll send you to the same webpage for feedback
submission!
Hi James I'm glad that you are ok. And thank you for the hint about the bug reports on iWeb menu. It makes a lot of sense putting it there; I just never noticed it.
iWeb has a bad blog bug
I'd like to stomp it royally
Instead I'll send a feedback hug

Slow running reports often are not the result of a flawed report, but rather a flawed configuration. For example:
1. If you call your reports (from Forms) via the default or inProcess Reports Server, often because startup time is slow, it will appear that it took too long for the report to be delievered. Using a stand-alone Rep Server is the preferred way to do this.
2. If your Forms application makes numerous calls to RRO (RUN_REPORT_OBJECT), this can tend to result in what might appear as a memory leak (although it is not). The result is delayed processing because of the excessive memory use. This problem has been overcome in Forms/Reports 11 by the use of JVM pooling. However in v10 enabling "6i compatibility" mode is the way to overcome the issue. See Note 266073.1
3. If the report runs fine from the Builder and it is connecting to the same db as when you run it from App Server, the issue is unlikely a db problem. However, if you want to look anyway, enable sqlnet tracing.
4. To enable Reports tracing and investigate other tuning options, refer to the Reports 10 documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B14099_11/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_tune.htm
Almost forgot to mentioned this one....
If you are using a v11 db with App Server 10, you will probably want to consider reviewing Note 1099035.1 as it discusses an issue related to performance with such a configuration.
