SSL Cert for 2008 R2 Reporting Services that is installed on a Failover Cluster - server address mismatch?

I utilized the idea from
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2778/how-to-add-reporting-services-to-an-existing-sql-server-clustered-instance/ to install 2008 R2 Reporting Services on a new Clustered SQL instance. In short, create the new Clustered SQL instance on Node1,
installing Reporting Services with it. Then on Node2, Add a Failover Cluster Node (without choosing Reporting Services); following that up with starting the SQL setup.exe with a cmd to bypass a check so that I can then install the Reporting Services
feature on Node2. It points out using the SQL Cluster Network name for connecting to Reporting Services.
I verified upon failover that I could still access the Reports and ReportServer URLs. However, when wanting to add an SSL certificate to the RS configuration, I run into the warning of "mismatched address - the security certificate presented by
this website was issued for a different website's address", where I can continue and get to the Reports or ReportManager URLs.
I played with different certs (internal CA created) and SANs and other things, but I still get this error with the cert. The Reports URL, for example, is <a href="https:///Reports">https://<SQLClusterNetworkName>/Reports, and the
cert has a CN and Friendly Name of SQLClusterNetworkName (with SAN of DNS: SQLClusterNetworkName.<domain>), but the error still happens.
What am I missing to eliminate the mismatched address warning when using the SQLClusterNetworkName as the base of the URLs?

I got it working by using the FQDN as the common name on the SSL cert, with FQDN in RS URLs.

Manual failover solution for a custom proxy service that should be deployed

I am looking for a manual failover solution for a custom proxy service that should be deployed on a cluster as a pinned service (requests have to be executed one after the other). The constraints I am encountering are:
a) Proxy service are deployed to all cluster's members by default.
b) Configuration of proxy services to cope with migration of JMS ressources.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance for your support

SQL ENTERPRISE: The edition of Reporting Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database

The error below makes absolutely no sense! I'm using Enterprise Core...yet I'm being told I can't use remote data sources:
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: i INFO: Catalog SQL Server Edition = EnterpriseCore
w3wp!library!8!03/05/2015-19:08:48:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: The feature: "The edition of Reporting
Services that you are using requires that you use local SQL Server relational databases for report data sources and the report server database." is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.;
Really? This totally contradicts the documentation found here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157285(v=sql.110).aspx
That article says remote connections are completely supported.
ARGH! Why does this have to be so difficult to setup?!?

Hi jeffoliver1000,
According to your description, you are using Enterprise Core edition and you are prompted that you can’t use remote data sources.
In your scenario, we neither ignore your point nor be doubt with what you say. But actually we have met the case before that even though the SQL Server engine is Enterprise but the reporting services is still standard. So I would recommend you to find the
actual edition of reporting services you are using. You can find Reporting Services starting SKU in the Reporting Service logs ( default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<instance name>\Reporting Services\LogFiles). For more information,
please refer to the similar thread below:

By the way, have you installed the other SQL Server edition before?

Hello all,
I have SQL express 2014 advance edition installed ..
and i am connecting SQl server 2008 r2 instance which is in network
while creating datasource in Reportserver which has Express installed ..
got this error ..
please help me how to connect to remote server
Dilip Patil..

Error message says it all.
With SQL Express, Data source should be local SQL DB.
With SQL Enterprise, Standard, BI edition, you can create Data soruce which are hosted on other servers.

[Forum FAQ] Configuration Manager Console shows nothing if you change SSRS to using SSL after Reporting Service Point is installed

If the SSRS is changed to SSL mode and http binding is removed after Reporting Service Point is installed. The Configuration Manager Console shows nothing in Reporting Pane. After digging into this problem, the cause is that the SSRS information has not
been updated in Configuration Manager Database. The following steps are taken for finding the root cause.
1. After changing to SSL, the Reporting Service Point log shows the error as shown in Figure 1.
The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.
(!) SRS not detected as running
Failures reported during periodic health check by the SRS Server DB2.SCJIZHO.COM.
Figure 1
From the error, seems the cause was the Reporting Service Point detected a wrong port. We digged around in Registry and found the information is a Registry key named ReportServerUri at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\SRSRP. After changing the Report
Server address to https. The error is gone as shown in Figure 2. But the issue remains, the Console still shows nothing. It is not a right direction.
Figure 2
2. Open the Console log file, it also shows some valuable information.

Figure 3
It seems the Console wants to access the old http site and it fails to get into the site for sure. Actually, the Site Configuration information is come from Site Control File and as we all know that ConfigMgr 2012 doesn’t store the Site Control file in the
file system. However, it’s stored in the SQL database (as XML file). The XML file is stored in a view named vSMS_SC_SiteControlXML. This view is a read-only view. We cannot edit it directly. The related table stored the SSRS information for this view is SC_SysResUse_Property.
Running the following query will list the SSRS address. We can see the address is still the old one. This is why the Console shows nothing.
SELECT
name,
value2
FROM dbo.SC_SysResUse_Property
where name
='ReportServerUri'
or name=
'ReportManagerUri'
Remarks:
This article is just to let you know why the Console cannot show the Reports after changing to SSL mode. We do not intend to make you change the table in Database, if you want to change it, you will be at your own risk. The real solution to this situation
is to reinstall your Reporting Service Point.

Ok, but how do you solve this problem? Does uninstalling the RP and adding it back solve this problem?

Can SSL cert be used in Mail Services?

Hello,
Can I use SSL server cert for Apache in Mail services, or must I use S/MIME certs? Anything that I must be aware when buying the S/MIME cert for 10.6 Mail Services?
Thanks alot!

Thanks very much!!!
Do you know which port(s) external mail client will use to get the cert from the Mail Server during handshake? My preliminary testing shows the mail client gets the cert via 443, and therefore it is getting another cert from my supposedly web server!
My set up in brief :
Airport Extreme acts as the gateway, load distributed by port no. to multiple servers, each handling a different service, and each has a different internal IP address. The external DNS service provided by DynDNS has 2 CNAME entries (one is www.servername.com, another is mail.servername.com) both pointing to the same fixed IP address.

Is the Export Quality for PDFs in Reporting Services 2005 only 96DPI?

I have been fighting with Reporting Services all day, and despite setting the PDF output quality to 300DPI, I have noticed that the image quality appears to be only 96DPI. I've noticed this because images with a size set for 300DPI are too large for the page, and images set for 96DPI fit just right.
Could someone please tell me if this is a limitation of Reporting Services 2005, or am I just doing something wrong?
I need to know this because I am up against a deadline with this project. I had ran several tests with Reporting Services but had never had assumed there would be problems with image quality.
Is there any other product that offers similar features to Microsoft Reporting Services that you could recommend?
My luck has not been very good with this project, and I'm assuming the response is going to be 96DPI is all that is supported...

OK, I have managed to get higher quality images from the PDF renderer. Here is what I have found:
1) The PDF renderer in Reporting Services 2005 will size all images that it is given at 96 DPI no matter what DPI the image is when you pass it to the renderer. That means that a 300 DPI image or even a 600 DPI image will be sized in the PDF as if it is only 96 DPI. That means your high DPI image will render much larger than you expect.
So you might expect a 300 DPI image that is 6.5 inches wide to render properly at 1950 pixels. Yet, the PDF renderer will size it as it were 96 DPI which would make the image 20.3 inches long!
2) There is good news though. Despite sizing the images as if they were 96 DPI, the PDF renderer appears to render higher DPI images at a higher quality than 96 DPI. So despite the sizing being wrong, the image actually is rendering at a higher quality.
This means that you should size the image to the proper number of inches based on 96 DPI calculations. Then you can use Bitmap.SetResolution to set your images to at least 300 DPI. That should give you a higher quality image that is the proper number of pixels to fit properly in your report.
I am able to do all of this sizing dynamically because I am using objects as my data sources, but I am sure there are VB functions you could use in the report itself to accomplish the same task.
It is late, and I've been at this project all day long, so forgive me if I have explained anything poorly or gotten any concepts long. Yet, at this late hour, I believe this is what the renderer is doing.
I hope this helps someone else in the future, or at least points them in the right direction.

Using internal SSL Certs for Webview and Reskill (ICM 7.2.X)

Hi,
I would like to use corporate ssl certs for webview and reskill to avoid the user having to install the self signed certificate on the local machine. Has anyone any experience of this? Can it cause any unforseen problems?
My plan for webview is to create the certificate request in IIS for the default website, use this csr to generate the cert, then complete it by uploading the certificate.
For reskilling, I will assume I will have to do some command line stuff here ...
eg: keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -keystore hostname.key
to create the key,
keytool -certreq -keyalg RSA -keystore hostname.key -file hostname.csr
to create the csr, and
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias tomcat -file hostname.cer -keystore hostname.key
to import the new cert
Suggestions or comments for anyone who has tried this before would be appreciated.
Regards,
Brian

I've never done it on a version so old, but at the end of the day it's just IIS and Tomcat and importing an SSL cert is very standard.

Instead of installing SQL server instance you selected add node which is to be selected when SQL server installation is to be made on Node which is being added to cluster. Since your OS is not clustered I am sure you selected worng option.
Please right click on setup file and select run as administrator. Now installation window which pops up on that on left hand side select
installation and then on page that appears select 'New server standalone installation or add feature to existing installation'.
You already have SQL server 2008 installed on your machine as per feature discovery report

Sharepoint 2010 SQl 2008 r2 Reporting Services Integrated with Claims

i have a 4 server sharepoint 2010 farm all servers are windows 2008 r2 x64
two severs are sharepoint app/wfe servers
one server is SQL sharepoint content db server sql 2008 r2 enterprise
one server is SQL Claims Provider DB and reporting services on SQL 2008 r2
the site is behind a forefront tmg proxy firewall for both internal and external users and both locations are producing the same results.
the web application i am having an issue with consists of a primary web app claims enabled web app that only has NTLM enabled, with an extended extranet webapp that supports claims and NTLM.
there is surrently a site collection that has been configured for reporting services when i log into the site as a SQL Claims user i am able to run the reportbuilder as a content type using the New Report builder report content type from a library on
this site. Reportbuilder launches and i am once gain prompted to login i login with the same credentials i used to log into the site and reportbuilder opens up and then i am able to open datasourceas and reports.
When i log in to the same site collection as a domain user i am able to log in to the site and launch reportbuilder. When reportbuilder opens up i am prompted to log in, i insert my domain\username and password and nothing happens the login prompt appears again
blank on the back end it throws the following exceptions
1. Password check on 'username' generated exception: 'System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.FailedAuthenticationException]: The security token username and password could not be validated. (Fault Detail is equal to Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.FailedAuthenticationException:
The security token username and password could not be validated.).'.
2.An exception occurred when trying to issue security token: The security token username and password could not be validated.
any thoughts on where i should begin troubleshooting this.

I think i am getting close i am now seeing a new error it seems that the sp farm account is unable my domain account when launching reportbuilder.

Trying to install features for PowerPivot and Reporting Services from SQL Server 2012 with SP2, but no access to key?

Hi,
I had installed SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot on WFE and App Server. This is test farm with 1 WFE and 1 APP and 1 SQL Server.
However, we had a heap of issues with Windows Claims Authentication and PowerPivot - issues were raised with "unable to make a connection to EntityDataSource" . Now we uninstalled the PowerPivot and Reporting Services features and wanted to install
with the SQL Server 2012 with SP2. Originally SP2 was installed seperately and we had read there had been issues.
Anyway on trying to install the features again using the SQL Server 2012 with SP2 iso I get
Could not open key UNKNOWN\Components
I don't want to start deleting or changing permissions as quite dodgey. What is this key for anyway and how do I resolve my issue.
Thanks.
John.

Hi John,
Did you meet the error message during the process of configuring the PowerPivot for SharePoint?
If yes, I suppose that the existing features or components have not been uninstalled completely.
I recommend to delete the two keys left when uninstalling the PowerPivot and please make a copy of the registry keys before you delete the two keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServiceProxy
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServicea
Please check the steps in the link below to see if there anything wrong when you uninstalling the PowerPivot and then re-install it to see how it works:

WLC Virtual Interface config for a public SSL cert for Web Authentication

I'm trying to get a cert loaded on my 5508 WLC running 7.6.130.0 so when a Web-Auth users tries to authenticate they don't get the SSL cert error.
In the document "Generate CSR for Third−Party Certificates and
Download Chained Certificates to the WLC"
Document ID: 109597 it states the following
"Note: It is important that you provide the correct Common Name. Ensure that the host name that is
used to create the certificate (Common Name) matches the Domain Name System (DNS) host name
entry for the virtual interface IP on the WLC and that the name exists in the DNS as well. Also, after
you make the change to the VIP interface, you must reboot the system in order for this change to take
effect.
Here are my questions.
1. I have always had 1.1.1.1 as the address of the Virtual interface, should that change or can I leave it as 1.1.1.1?
2. In the "DNS Host Name" Field do I simply put the domain or the FQDN? Example. Company.com or hostname.company.com

Hi,
1) You can change that if you want. Normally it is non-Public and non-routable in your network.
2) Put the Host name for which you are going to give in your company DNS server where that Host name would be mapped to the Virtual ip address.

ACE: Single SSL Cert for two domains with same VIP

At present I have a design that will use individual SSL cert per domain and link both certs to (two or one) serverfarm.
policy-map multi-match popvip_01
class POP_VIP01
loadbalance vip inservice
loadbalance policy POP-POp3_PMT or popPMT1
loadbalance vip icmp-reply
ssl-proxy server GINPOP_SSLPROXY
connection advanced-options TCP_PARAM_Y
class POP3_VIP02
loadbalance vip inservice
loadbalance policy POP-POp3_PMT or POPPMT2
loadbalance vip icmp-reply
ssl-proxy server GINPOP3_SSLPROXY
connection advanced-options TCP_PARAM_Y
however,
if I can get one single certificate to process both pop and pop3 domains, that use the same VIP/port, and if this will work with ACE, i'm inclined to design using this alternative.
ie,
pop.mydomain.com = 10.10.10.1 995
pop3.mydomain.com = 10.10.10.1 995
Any suggestions would be appriciated.

Hello,
In order to achieve this then you will need to order a wildcard certifictae ie
*.mydomain.com
These certificates are more expensive and so you will probably find it cheaper to buy two certificates than one wildcard certificate.

Sql server 2008 r2 reporting services configuration in clustered server

hello,
In my client place i configured reporting services but with admin rights it is not allowing to start the service,it is clustered server.
it says logon failure error.
Is there any diffrent approach need to be followed
thanks

You should not be running SSRS on a clustered SQL host. Best practice is to run it on a stand-alone box and put the back-end databases on a clustered host. SSRS is a web\application server which does need clustering. If you need to scale
out SSRS or create a highly available SSRS instance, you use a farm of machines, just like with any other web or application server.
