When running SSRS Reports that have many parameters that users will change and click view report to see different results, chrome security will intermittently prompt for Sign In. When it does, valid credentials will not work.
This started happening with the latest chrome update where the tabs because curved about two months ago.
IE and Edge work fine (albeit much slower)
The Datasource uses a sql login with full access to the SQL Server.
The end users are on windows auth and should not be prompted once authenticated.
Same report has worked for a long time prior to latest update and works in other browsers. Chrome Canary does the same thing. All Chrome users are having this same issue rendering chrome unusable for SSRS.
I have access to the reporting services log file, but there is lots of traffic so very hard to read.
I can run profiler, but the server is very busy and I'm since I'm not sure what to look for, leaving it wide open has so many other threads from other users and it seems even my spid changes constantly as ssrs moves through the requests. Enter report, view report, view report, view report, etc..
Cannot find anything close on google except old stuff that we've went through with chrome using the ie lan advanced security settings. None of the old stuff helps. Have also check ssrs configs to make sure we are forcing windows auth and it is.
Any help with the actual problem or even help with how to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated.
Screenshot provided just after hitting view report for the third time. Correct credentials will not work at this point.

I have developed a Direct Query paginated report in Power BI Report Builder and published it to Power BI Service.
Once it's published I go into the report and try to select the parameters to generate the report, however I can only select a value for the first parameter and none of the others. the others remain greyed out. They are all working directly in the Power BI Report Builder app report preview, and some other users on my team are able to select and filter the parameters, whilst some are not.
We have verified that this is not a user access issue, since I logged into a test account and tried, and still experienced the issue, whereas someone else logged into the same test account and did not experience the issue.
I have tried adding *.powerbi.com as a trusted site on all my browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) however it has not helped. I tried clearing my cache and cookies but no luck. I tried on incognito mode, and that allowed me to select the second parameter as well, however I could not select any more after that.
I'm really stuck on what could be specifically causing this issue and would love to hear if anyone else has experienced this or has any thoughts.

I am following the tutorials for reporting services on the microsoft website and currently on: this tutorial.
I am just going to the web portal on my local host, going to the data source option of the report, but it is impossible to change something when I select "Use the following credentials"( see below screen). what you don't see on the screen for some reason is that the cursor becomew a probibited sign when hovering over the field "user name" or "password".
I tried it in several browers (edge, IE, firefox and Chrome), but everywhere it is the same. I am logged on as administrator, so I would assume it is not a permission issue (altough the change in cursor makes me suspect otherwise).
I tried googling the subject for an hour or 2, but i didn't come across any useful information. As far as I can tell I configured the Reporting service correctly.
I do notice that the first time I open the "Manage" menu of a report I only see the options "properties" and "security". When Inavigate back to the menu and try again I suddenly see all menu options like you see on the screenshot. I also often get the pop up "something went wrong, please try again later"
I am running windows 10 on my laptop and installed SQL server express 2017. I did read that SQL express does not support all features of the reporting services, could that be the root cause of the issue's?
I know this is quite vague, that is also what makes it hard for me to look it up... I hope someone else out there has encountered the same :)
Thanks for the input!
To answer my own question:
I was stupid enough to use SQL Express edition and this does not have all the features required to run SQL reporting services. After installing SQL developer edition all worked as it should.
When accessing deployed SSRS reports via URL link using AD authenticated username/password, reports do not complete their rendering. The parameter bar displays with appropriate values and the Loading wheel displays until an error is thrown.
About 75% of the time the error shown is:
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: An unknown error
has occurred while processing the request on the server. The status
code returned from the server was: 500
The rest of the time the status code returned is: 0
As an added curveball, when connected to internal Wifi the reports render accurately and quickly in Safari on Apple devices.
Reports render correctly in IE, Firefox and Chrome. Using Chrome on any Apple device has been shown to work in all tests so far. Unfortunately using any other browser than Safari is not possible in production.
Additional information
Server does receive a successful login in Event Viewer but nothing gets to the Reporting Services ExecutionLog stored procedures.
The rendering times out at around 120 seconds. A timeout issue could be involved but I can not currently find the appropriate setting to change and even if this is the fault, waiting over 2 minutes to reports this small is inappropriate.
Environment
SQL Server Reporting Services 2014
Accessing data from SQL Server 2000
Issue occurs in Safari browser on Mac, iPhone, iPad for iOS 9.1 and 9.2 (other OSs not tested)
When working reports show a variety of data from multiple databases on a single SQL server. They access several stored procedures to display parameter dropdowns and general report data organised in tables and graphs with images
Resolves trialled (and failed :)
Creating non database linked report with picture and one line of text (still did not render)
Changing ReportingServices and ReportManager web config file to increase httpRuntime executionTimeout and maxRequestLength values (still did not render)
Changing to Basic authentication (stopped any connection to any aspect of report manager etc)
Changes to javascript file (still did not render)
I have scanned the internet and of course here on Stack Overflow to little avail. I may have missed something or interpreted it incorrectly so any assistance, suggestions and help would be most appreciated.
Safari and Chrome render differently than Internet Explorer.
SSRS reports use the DIV tag with overflow: auto that renders the report invisible in Safari and Chrome.
See this for more info on how to deal with the issue:
SSRS 2008 R2 - SSRS 2012 - ReportViewer: Reports in Safari/Chrome but works fine in Firefox/Internet Explorer 8... why?
I had some SSRS report timeout issues earlier too (tried a few things in your suggestions too and didn't work). I discovered the rendering process would fail when report result set is too big. I ended up adding some page break to the report so report can be browsed by page to fix the issue. Hope this help.
I am using Dynamics CRM 2013 on premise.
I have built all the reports based on stored procedures in SSRS.
one report however, that has no issue with execution definitions, permissions or what ever,
once executed causes to browser to crash (any browser, i tried FF, Chrome, IE9 and up, )
it seems the problem is not a report execution problem but a report rendering problem for this specific report.
I cannot cache the report or make a snapshot of it, as the values of the reports also depends on the user running the report (among other parameters user-defined) and each user should get a different result. - i have more than 400 users.
I have tried searching for any one who had face this kind of issue and reported on it but failed. hence decided to post this question my self.
if anyone has any idea, please share.
thanks
Have you enabled tracing/logging in SSRS? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156500.aspx
You might turn on verbose logging while trying to run the report to see if you can get more helpful information.
If you write code, you can write a .NET application that calls the SSRS web services to render the report. Doing that will help you know for certain whether it's a browser rendering issue since you can get back the report as a byte array and save it to disk as Word, PDF, etc.
OK so this is kind of a general question here. We run an ASP/C# Site that's fed by a SQL 2008 R2 database.
Our data entry takes place using Microsoft Access 2007 and feeds to a SQL 2008 R2 instance.
Our data entry forms (all .adp) are generally simple, but we randomly run into problems where I'll post a change to the DB (we have a script that runs at night and will archive our old DB versions in the form of "DB_NAME.adp03122012" and keeps the newest revision as "DB_NAME.adp". This way, our data entry team will just need to click on a network shortcut to access the Access forms.
What we're running into is non-reproducible errors of varying types on random machines.
Example, I make a simple search that has a combo box and a search button. You select the item you want to search for and it updates the record source to search for that PK/FK. It works fine on my developer box. It works fine on certain end-user boxes. But on others, it throws a run-time error:
"Run-time error 2467: The expression you entered refers to an object
that is closed or doesn't exist".
Now the error itself isn't the focus of this. It's not being able to reproduce it. I tried running it on another box that has the same hardware specs as the offending box and it ran fine, no errors, no nothing.
I'm at an absolute loss as to why this is happening. I don't think the error is actually related to my VB code or to our databases, as it's working fine on some computers and isn't working on others. It's almost as if the code isn't propagating properly to specific boxes.
Has anybody else dealt with this before?
I feel somewhat foolish, but our Network Admin hadn't propagated Windows updates to all of our end user boxes.
The advice that Remou and mwolfe02 gave was valid and helpful, and likely would've helped had I been informed that the computers in question needed updates.
Thank you for reading and offering comments and help.
