Hi Anonymous !

 

Please provid eus some background why you were advised to remove those entries. For now you can add back these entries from Report Configuration Manager if you are able to access it.

 

Regards,

Hasham

Hi HashamNiaz ,
Yes I Have enabled back HTTP URL and everything works.

The reason why I want to remove it is that, Company want enforce users to use report server only via HTTPS (Security Team requiremnts), so i thought I can remove HTTP URLs from URL Reservation and job will be done.
Note: Most people use HTTPS as this is standard how links are being distributed but there is clear requiremnt that users can't be allowed to access reports via HTTP.

I have read that alternatively I can create URL Redirection Script but I am not so familiar with such solution.

Today I found that there is parameter in RS Config file "SecureConnectionLevel" and I can switch it to value grater that 0. Do you think that it will work?
