Secure Report Binding

[Aaron Ford]

We are trying to bind the Telerik ReportService to a secure site and we get the following error in the viewer "An exception occurred during the operation, making the result invalid.  Check InnerException for exception details."

Here is what our web.config file looks like:

<?

 

 

xml version="1.0"?>

Hello Aaron Ford,

As you can see from our online demos, the Telerik Reporting WCF service works properly under https and you can find more information in the Enable SSL for Telerik Reporting WCF service help article.

In order to get more information about the actual problem hiding behind the "An exception occurred during .." error  try the following:

• show the Output window in Visual Studio and check whether there is an exception when you're running your application in debug mode.
• access the .svc file directly in your browser to see if it reports any problems.
• enable the CLR exceptions from Debug --> Exceptions menu in Visual Studio and run your project in debug.

All the best,
Steve
the Telerik team
