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.

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.

Resolved as a Digital Guardian network tool blocking.
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.
I'm at wits end trying to find a solution for my issues with Internet Explorer and SSRS. I have created an C# Windows Forms program that uses the WebBrowser element to display SSRS reports to the end user.
Currently there are two report options for them to choose from. One report opens and displays fine. The data set for this report takes about 2-3 seconds to retrieve. The second report is either timing out or not rendering as I get a blank screen.
I think it is timing out as opposed to not rendering because I can't even choose the export to file option. The data set for the second report only takes about 15 seconds to retrieve. I have tried altering timeouts on web.config and rsreportserver.config on the SQL Server and I have tried putting a <system.web> section into the app.config file of the ASP project, but none of that seems to have fixed the issue.
I also tried changing the sessionState value in the web.config but that doesn't seem to have done anything either. Has anyone encountered this error that can tell me what steps to take to fix the problem? My local machine is using IE9 and the server is running SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows 7.
The answer to this is above in the comments to my question. Don't use the WebBrowser control as it is prone to the failure of IE. I placed the ReportViewer control on there and it works correctly. Check http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337089(v=sql.100).aspx for usage of this control.
I have some users intermittently receiving this error 'Unable to read data from the transport connection—The connection was closed' when viewing an ssrs report through the ReportViewer control.
The user can access the SSRS via web browser and not replicate the error
On multiple pages reports the first page loads and where it states 'Page 1 of totalPages' this totalPages counts up as the rest of the pages are loaded. Half the time it doesn't display an error but not all pages are loaded.
We are running SSRS express within a windows application.
SQL Express installation is a named instance
When it happens the screen hangs for around 2 minutes
It occurs on a couple of reports but not others different reports. It's not data amount related, sometimes 50 page reports come through OK and sometimes 2 page reports fail.
If it fails the user can run the report again and it usually works the next time. Sometimes it takes 3-4 goes.
Nothing has changed recently, I'm told this was always the case but they never reported it.
I tried giving the single shared ssrs datasource sa user credentials - no change
Some reports appear to load OK everytime while others error out or only load a couple of pages.
What I have tried so far:
I cannot replicate this error from our remote client, I just ran 20 successful reports no dramas from within another client installed on the same network. But I can replicate it from the users computer with both my account and their account.
I cannot see anything relevant in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MyInstance\Reporting Services\LogFiles'.
Thanks in advance for tips on where to look for clues and ways to resolve this issue..
I have resolved this by removing the ReportViewer UI control and we are now creating a pdf of the report using ReportViewer.ServerReport.Render() and opening with Process.Start(). The client only wants a pdf or a print out so we don't need the report viewer as such.
I'm not sure why the connection was closed at times, maybe it's network related as I couldn't replicate on a machine located physically next to the server. Either way this is resolved, onto the next project!
I've been following this tutorial (lesson 6) in order to build and deploy a sample report with an embedded subreport which reads its parameters' values from the parent report. This subreport is embedded in one of the group rows of the report's table, and both share the same datasource. Additionally, detail rows appear collapsed until the user presses the (+) button for each group of data in the table.
The report works great when I preview it at the Business Intelligence Development Studio (by the way, SQL 2005 Express edition) but when I deploy it and try to see in the Report Manager, the subreport is not shown. And, if I press the (+) button, the following message appears:
Some parameters or credentials have not been specified
Does anybody has the slightest idea of what I am doing wrong? Why does it works perfectly in the Report Viewer embedded in Visual Studio but not in the Report Manager web app?
Thanks in advance.
Does the subreport use the same Data Source as the parent report? If not, be sure to check the data source of the subreport to make sure it is correct. Check in Report Manager, not your local copy.
I'm beginning to think this could be an issue with the browser. I'm currently using Internet Explorer 8 Beta and I'm also experiencing weird behavior from the Report Manager. I've tried with Google Chrome and Firefox 3 and, although the navigation is not as smooth as I like, the problem seems fixed.
it happens when you use IE8 as a report browser. I faced same issue and when I tested on chrome it worked fine .
This may or may not be related, but I had a similar problem some time ago (except that in my case the reports were accessed through a custom web page) and it turned out we had an older version of the report viewer control (the version that came with Sql 2005 RTM). After upgrading to the latest version the issue went away.
