SSL ClientReport

rbuser

I've got the patch to get the Clientreport to talk to the rbServer
installed, recompiled and redeployed.

I'm unable to connect via HTTPS (SSL) from a clientreport and haven't found
any docs on it.

I have set the following parameters in the webteir:

HTTPPrefix := 'https://';
WebCachePath := 'https://......./cache/';
WebModuleURI := 'https://....../report.dll';

What do I set in the clientreport to direct it to the webteir?


FYI - I am able to connect to the webtier via SSL through a browser.

No sooner did I post the message about it not working I discover I have a
typo in the port number and viola! Clientreport <-> HTTPS <-> RbServer is
working!

I set the SSL port number and address to the report.dll .

Looks like it works Nard, without alot of overhead too!

Thanks.

One bug I did find is when you preview a report on screen and then go to
print only the first page prints and then a error pops up saying "The handle
is invalid". This error is not present when running a standard TCP
connection between the client and rbServer.

We have recreated the issue here and are researching it...

This has been fixed for RB 7.04, which is now available.

Thanks! Version 7.04 resolved the "invalid handle" issue after page 1.

However, when I print a multiple page report, either previewed first or
printed directly, the first page prints OK now but then the report hangs
and the second page never prints. I don't get any hard errors and I'm able
to "Cancel" the printout without error. This problem is not present when
using the standard TCP connection, all 10 pages of the report dumps to the
printer almost instantly.

In my testing here I cannot reproduce any issue. My test is to run the main
demo server (RBServer\Demos\Servers\01. Main), the demo WebTier ISAPI
project (RBServer\Demos\Web Tier\ISAPI), and the main client explorer demo
(\RBServer\Demos\Clients\01. Client Explorer). I am running it all locally,
for the client explorer I specify the connection as
http://localhost/rbWebPub/Report.dll

I am able to browse and print reports.

Can you try the above and let me know...

Yes out of the box this works for me too when run locally and via SSL to my
server.

I think I found the problem after some research - I can reproduce the
problem by setting UseBackGroundThread to True in the stock
"RBServer\Demos\Clients\01. Client Explorer"
