CRM_URL Report Parameter is incorrect - reporting-services

Question

I am building custom reports in Microsoft CRM and am using the CRM_URL parameter to created drill downs.
However, the URL coming in is ***http://**myserver.com/org/CRMReports...* but it should be **https://**myserver.com/org/CRMReports...
My understanding is that this value is dynamically passed in by MS CRM. How/where can I update this URL to use https?

Answer 1

you need to use the SRSS config tool. =>
Configuring a Report Server for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Connections (2005)
Configuring a Report Server for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Connections (2008)
"Edit UrlRoot in the RSReportServer.config File
If you are using the report server e-mail delivery extension, you can create subscriptions that included a report URL in the e-mail message. To construct the report URL, the report server uses the UrlRoot configuration setting in the RSReportServer.config file. If the report runs on a report server that is accessed through an SSL connection, you must manually edit the UrlRoot to use the https:// prefix.
If you are using a server certificate, the format of the URL is as follows:
<UrlRoot>https://certificatename/reportservervirtualdirectoryname</UrlRoot>

The answer to my issue was #4 & #5 from this link:

For deployments that will not be used
by external clients, which connect
over the Internet, follow these steps:
Obtain a certificate from a CA. To use certificates you will have set
up a public key infrastructure (PKI),
which consists of one or more CAs that
are linked in a hierarchy. These CAs
and the PKI are required to manage
certificate issuance, validation,
renewal, and revocation in one or more
organizations. You can use a
third-party PKI with Microsoft Windows
Server 2003, or you can establish your
own PKI, based on Windows Server 2003
Certificate Services.
Make sure that there are no users accessing Internet Information
Services (IIS) where the Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Web application is
installed. To do this, stop the
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site:
right-click the Web site, and then
click Stop.
Configure the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site to use SSL. To do this,
perform the following steps on the
server running IIS where the Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Web application is
installed:
1. Start Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
2. Right-click the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site, and then click
Properties.
3. Click the Directory Security tab, click Server
Certificate, and then follow the
instructions in the Web Server
Certificate Wizard.
4. If you want clients to only use SSL when they connect to the
Microsoft Dynamics CRM application, on
the Directory Security tab in the
Secure communications area, click
Edit.
5. On the Secure Communications dialog box, click the
Require secure channel (SSL) check
box.
6. Close Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
Important: You can apply only a single certificate to the Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Web site. Therefore, you
if you have configured Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Server for both internal
and Internet-facing (external) access,
you cannot configure SSL for both
internal and external connections to
the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site.
You must manually modify the following values in the configuration
database.
Warning: Incorrectly modifying the configuration database
(MSCRM_CONFIG) can cause unexpected
behavior in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM
system or cause the system to stop
working. We recommend that you back up
the Microsoft Dynamics CRM system
before you complete these steps. For
information about how to back up the
Microsoft Dynamics CRM system, see the
Operating and Maintaining Guide that
is part of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM
4.0 Implementation Guide document set.
1. On the computer running Microsoft SQL Server, start SQL Server
Management Studio.
2. Expand Databases, expand MSCRM_CONFIG, expand Tables,
right-click dbo.DeploymentProperties,
and then click Open Table.
3. In the dbo.DeploymentProperties table under
the ColumnName column, in the
ADRootDomainScheme row, change the
NVarCharColumn column value from http
to https. Note that this value must be
in lower-case letters.
4. In the dbo.DeploymentProperties table, under
the ColumnName column, in the
ADSdkRootDomain row, change the
NVarCharColumn column value by using
the name of the certificate configured
for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web
site. The name of the certificate can
be found, in Internet Information
Services (IIS) Manager, on the
Directory Security tab of the
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site
properties page.
5. Click View Certificate.
6. On the Certificate dialog box, click Details.
7. Click the Friendly Name field to locate the certificate name.
If the certificate name is the same as
the computer name, you can use the
format ServerName:SSLPortNumber. By
default, the TCP port for SSL
connections is 443.
8. In the dbo.DeploymentProperties table, under
the ColumnName column, in the
ADWebApplicationRootDomain row, change
the NVarCharColumn column value by
using the name of the certificate
configured for the Microsoft Dynamics
CRM Web site. If the certificate name
is the same as the computer name, you
can use the format
ServerName:SSLPortNumber. By default,
the TCP port for SSL connections is
443.
9. Make sure your modifications are saved and then close
SQL Server Management Studio.
Modify the LocalSDKPort Windows registry subkey value. To do this,
complete the following steps.
Warning: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry
incorrectly by using Registry Editor
or by using another method. These
problems might require that you
reinstall the operating system and
Microsoft Dynamics CRM. We cannot
guarantee that these problems can be
solved. Modify the registry at your
own risk.
1. Start Registry Editor, and locate the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM
subkey.
2. Right-click LocalSdkPort, click Modify, and then click OK.
3. In the Base area, click Decimal, and then type the TCP port.
4. Click OK.
5. Close Registry Editor.
Restart IIS. To do this, at the command line, run the iisreset
command.
Start the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site. To do this, right-click the
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site, and
then click Start.
Restart the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Asynchronous Processing Service.
To do this, click Start, point to
Administrative Tools, and then click
Services. In the list of services,
right-click Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Asynchronous Processing Service, and
then click Restart.
Verify that you can successfully connect to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Web site. To do this, you must use a
URL that begins with https. For
example, in Internet Explorer the URL
will appear similar to the following
address:
https://ServerName/OrganizationName/loader.aspx
If the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site is not configured to require
SSL connections, verify that you can
successfully connect to the site by
using an http connection, for example,
http://ServerName/OrganizationName/loader.aspx.
