Open reportserver webservice URL with https leads to an ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR
We have installed on a Windows Server 2022 the latest version of PowerBI Reporting Server. We have bound a wild card certificate to the PBRS webservice and PBRS portal site. We have also added the FQDN cname to the PBRS reportingserver config file. We have used to deploy any reports by URL's like https://reports.contoso.com/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/Invoice/InvoiceReport. Opening with Microsoft Edge we get the error: Hmmm… can't reach this page It looks like the webpage at https://reports.contoso.com/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/Invoice/InvoiceReport might be having issues or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR On the other hand when opening the URL https://reports.contoso.com/Reports/Invoice/InvoiceReport we will be asked to login with the user credentials. Afterwards calling the webservice runs fine. Does anybody had already the same error and how we can avoid it?✨ FabCon + SQLCon Europe 2026: Partner Know Before You Go Guide is Now Live!
