Title: Using SSL to secure the server
Post by: DaveKing on 13 May 2011 01:31:06 PM
We are using Cognos 8.4 (Fix pack 2)
We must secure the Cognos servers using SSL. BUT when we do require SSL for the server we occasionally get a 413 error when trying to save reports from Report Studio. We have not had the prolem enough times to establish a pattern, so as far as we can tell, it is random.
Has anyone else had the problerm with Report Studio when using SSL?

I assume this is SSL between the user (Browser) and the Web Server, and if so, the 413 is an HTTP 413 Request Entity too Large error from your web server?  If so, it's possible that there are some fringe cases where your users are generating traffic back to the server that is larger than the allowed value.   If you are using IIS, maybe investigate the UploadReadAheadSize setting and consider increasing it.

Thank you.
I have looked around the net a bit, that seems to  be the only answer to this issue.
I appreciate your time.
We have changed that value and everyrthing looks good so far.
Thanks again.
