Prerequisites and impact of enabling "Encrypt" in Report Server Database Configuration
Hello everyone, I am currently configuring my Power BI Report Server. In the Report Server Configuration Manager > Change Database wizard, there is an "Encrypt" checkbox for the database connection (as shown in the attached screenshot). I would like to ask: 1. What are the exact prerequisites on the SQL Server side to enable this successfully? 2. Will enabling it cause any downtime or connection issues if not configured perfectly? 3. Does it require a specific SSL/TLS certificate setup on the Database Engine? Any advice or official documentation links would be highly appreciated. Thank you!
Power BI RS – Error “Unable to create secure SSL/TLS channel” for one user (MinIO connection)
Hello, I'm encountering an issue with a Power BI Report Server (RS) connection to a MinIO source. The connection works perfectly on my machine, but not for another user that I assit, even though we are using the same Power BI RS version (installed via our company software center). Here's the situation: 🔹 I can connect to the Excel file hosted on MinIO via Web.Contents without any problem. 🔹 The other user receives this error: "Unable to create a secure SSL/TLS channel." We have verified the following: ✅ The user has access to the MinIO source via the browser (URL works). ✅ The user has access rights and the required role for the MinIO bucket. ✅ I tested with his accessKey/secretKey on my machine — and it worked fine. ✅ TLS 1.2 is enabled on both our machines (tested with PowerShell)=>but not sure of its efficacity ✅ Power BI Desktop settings were checked: certificate revocation level set to “None” for testing — same result. ✅ Registry entries under both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319 and WOW6432Node were checked — no SchUseStrongCrypto key found. It feels like a local machine or .NET config issue, but I can't pinpoint what blocks TLS/SSL on his machine only. 🔍 Any ideas or directions? Could this be tied to missing .NET patches, RS policies, or group security settings? Has anyone else dealt with MinIO access via Power BI RS in this context? Thanks a lot in advance! - we both use the same version of power Bi RS and i tired with service too
PBI Server- Date format issue
Hi everyone, I am currently faced with date issues, from PBI desktop to PBI Server (on-premise). How can i show it as dd/mm/yyyy without changing the browser configuration? Can it be solved by creating another calculated column or can be done in the transformation tab? For example, this application date is showing as 14/03/2001 (dd/mm/yyyy). (PBI Desktop) However, when showed on PBI Server, the application date is showing as (mm/dd/yyyy). (PBI Server on premise) Thank you.
