How to enable SSL for HTTP endpoint?

Hi,

I'd like to know how can I setup the SSL so I can secure my HTTP Endpoint.

I saw in the documentation that some settings such as SSL_PORT and PORTS should be set to SSL port number and SSL but I did not find out anywhere where they explain how to enable SSL.

Do we enable SSL the same way we enable it or SQL Server 2005 or does that have to be done through the MMC - Certificates.

I don't have any IIS server running on this server, so I was wondering if IIS is a requirement to generate and import the certificate.

I appreciate your help and comments.

Bruce.

Bruce,

You can use the same SSL certificate as IIS if you like. Once the SSL certificate is setup for the IPAddressort combination, all you need is to configure the ENDPOINT to support SSL.

For additional information on how to configure a SSL certificate for use by the ENDPOINT, please refer to the "Configuring Certificate for Use by SSL" topic in Books Online (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186362.aspx)

Thanks Jimmy,

It's now working. I thought that was much more complicated than that to enable SSL on the HTTP endpoint.

Thx.

How to document the reports

OK, I guess you could always just whip up MS Word and write some
documentation about a report there, and be happy. But is there a more
structured way of doing it? Some application or plugin for Visual Studio
perhaps?
I'd like it to make a list of what reports are in my report solution, and
shared datasources. And then for each report, a list of datasources used,
maybe a list of datasets and a field for free text comments about "This
report uses a matrix, which displays subtotals on columns and rows."
Which in time can be searched through, so the next time I want a report with
a matrix with subtotals, I can check this one out for any clever tricks I
did to make it work. :)
Kaisa M. LindahlIf you willing to write some code, then it is possible.
Just parse your RDL file(s), analyze it and generate a doc.
