Report Server prompts for credentials after changing parameter
What is the Authentication Method applied to Data Sources?
After Upgrading did you restored the Encryption keys of the database?
Hi FarhanAhmed,
Data sources are accessed using dedicated SQL server credentials without impersonation. Report server itself uses NTLM authentication.
I do not remeber being asked to backup and restore encryption keys during the upgrade.
One more thing to keep and mind that I have forgotten to mention, Report Server is behind Caddy as a reverse proxy and I believe that it might be causing the problems after all.
Actually, encryption keys are used to encrypt sensitive information that is stored on PBI Report Server. i.e. Connection String, User credentials, Schedule refresh information etc.
You can view this option when you execute PBIRS Configuration under Encryption Keys
