    I'm not totally clear on what is going on with your server as you seem to be making contradictory statements. You show a screenshot where the certificate is not available, but then you say that you somehow bound it to port 8443... only one of these statements could be true. 

     

    To get HTTPS working you need to sort out the issue with the certificate drop down. If you have have not re-started the report server service try doing that as suggested in the documentation https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/security/configure-ssl-connections-on-a-native-mode-report-server?view=sql-server-ver15 If that does not work it could be a permissions issue so maybe try running the Report Server Configuration Manager as Admin and see if that helps.

    Port 443 is the industry standard port for HTTPS connections, but if you cannot pick the certificate you will not be able to establish a HTTPS connection. So you need to get the certificate issue sorted out then HTTPS should start working on port 443

Hello all,

Hi @d_gosbell, can you please provide assistance on the below? I'd really appreciate your support.

 

Currently in Report Server Configuration manager, I'm not able to find the SSL Certificate I added. It is missing from the dropdown.

I had binded the SSL Certificate with the 8443 Port. Please refer the below screenshot.

 

I did this to make the URL of the Report Server Web Portal HTTPS instead of HTTP. So, when I copy the link of my Report which is saved in the Report Server, the link should start an HTTPS.

 

 

 

 

Since this 443 port doesn't seem to work, what all ports does Power BI Report Server work on?

 

Kindly require assistance asap on the above. Thanks in advance!

Hi niyati_61 !

You can use any other port which is not reserved for Power BI Report Server, you can use Port [8020, 8030] depneding on your IT department guidelines.

 

Now, coming back to your point why https link is not working. Please first validate your certificate, your certificate should include the correct Port number & you can ask your IT to validate the certificate from outside / inside your coorporate network.

 

If the https certificate is issued locally by your IT department, then it can be validated through your coorporate network. You cna push this certificate to your Power BI Report Server machine. Once it's successfully published into it, you will be able to see it in your dropdown.

 

Regards,

Hasham
