Ensure that that the SQL Server Reporting Services is installed properly and that it is running and also make sure the appropriate ports (443) are open on the system. You may consider restarting the system and re-trying the operation.

Web Deploy to Azure Stopped Working even with downloaded publish profile

My Web Deploy Publish from Visual Studio 2017 to my Azure web app was being finicky yesterday, and today just stopped working completely.
Yesterday the error in Event Viewer was

After looking at many inconclusive posts on the matter, (and since this error ERROR_CONNECTION_TERMINATED is not listed on the official troubleshoot website they provide in the error), I did the following:
(1) Restart my computer
(2) Restart Visual Studio
(3) Open Visual Studio as Admin
(4) Redownload the Publish profile from Azure
None of this worked.
In the publish profile window, when I click "Validate" for my credentials, they pass. Only when I preview or run the publish does it error out.
What finally worked was
(5) Set Application setting to false in Azure WEBSITE_WEBDEPLOY_USE_SCM
I looked it up and am not sure what it did, and why I needed to do it, and why it worked fine before without this setting. It feels like a hack fix and I don't like it. Should I keep this application setting?
UPDATE:
Not sure if the SCM setting helped. I was able to publish once, and no can't again.
First, Close the firewall and the local proxy-based software.
Second, Make sure you have install the web deploy handler and all of the options has be installed.
(Add the option not be selected.)
Thrid, Make sure you dont have IP restrictions for Management Service.
Other possible reasons you can find in this Offcial doc:

I've tried reinstall ssms,visual studio and even format my pc. but none of the solution that i found working. So i am here to looking someone for help. thanks and appreciate if someone can tell me how to solve this.
It's in the comments, but thought I would post here for future readers too. See my answer here for a solution that worked for me: https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/224169/ssms-cant-connect-to-azure-database
Summary: Essentially, I had the same problem, I downloaded IISCrypto and enabled all of the Ciphers.

After installing the "Docker Desktop on Windows", I get the same problem. Uninstalling the Docker Desktop on Windows, give me the relief.

SSAS excel remote connection

I migrated to SQL Server 2014 from 2008 version. I have Windows Server 2012 with IIS 8.5.
I'm trying to configure remote access to my OLAP database . I followed all the steps as described here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/it-it/library/gg492140(v=sql.120).aspx.
The IIS version mentioned is the 8.0, does it fit for the 8.5 too?
When I try to test the configuration using the Management Studio I get this error:

SSIS Authentification with SharepointList data source

I'm creating an SSIS Package that imports data from a SharePoint List, I've an authentification issue due to the SPCRED Component I think.
for the record I'm using a developement server in a domain whitch is different from the Sharepoint One. So I do specifie this one "SharePoint Server DomainName" in my SPCREDHer is my configuration Because Ican't use my windows Credantials.
I verrified that with my credantials I've an admin role in the hole Sharepoint web site. when configuring my SharePoint List Source I've got all the columns I was Able to do the data mapping. but when executing the package it runs into an error because of the authentification Here is the error:

Thank You
I had exactly the same problem, what helped me was setting the runtime credentials using the guide I've found here
Manually set to use Custom Credentials, then enter details of an account that has permissions to read & write to the target Sharepoint list
At run time, the account password set in the connection manager will not be used, it must be set by using package configurations.
Go to SSIS menu > Package Configurations
Enable package configurations if not done already
Click Add to create a new configuration
Select required configuration location, probably either XML file or SQL Server if available
Click next to select properties
In the tree of items to configure, expand Connection Managers > SharePoint Credential > Properties
Select UserName and Password properties, click Next
Set configuration name & click Finish
The Password value will not have been saved to the configuration destination because it is secured. You need to open the configuration location and manually set the Password value.
I fixed my issue by adding Connection Parameters. Right click the SharePoint Credential and select "Parameterize..." from the pop-up menu. Then click the Property drop down and create parameters for both UserName and Password.

MOSS 2007 SSL error when configuring Search Settings

We’re getting the following error message when we click on “Search Settings” for a Shared Services Provider: “Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream.”
This is a new server environment with two web front ends, one database server, and one index server, all running Windows 2003 x64.
Does anyone have any thoughts related to if this could be related to 64-bit, or what could be causing the error.
Here are the full details from ULS:

I guess you find this exception in the index server, right?
Are you able to browse to 'https://mushni-sptwb04q:56738/Shared%20Services%20Portal/Search/SearchAdmin.asmx' from the index server?
It seems like SSL is not properly provisioned on the front-end servers. This might solve your issue:
Remove the SSL certificate of the front-end servers
Remove the index server from the farm
Move the search and index roles to one of the front-ends
Join the index server back to the farm
Add the index/search roles to the index server
Apply the SSL certificate (you can generate them using SelfSSL) to both front-ends
Be careful with SelfSSL, its better to use Use SSLDiag. SelfSSL has a bug where if you use it to assign certificates to multiple sites on the same box, only the last site will work. You can run SslDiag from the command line like so:
ssldiag /selfssl /V:999 /N:CN=<hostname> /S:<siteId>
Use metabase explorer to find the side it.
Could be an SSL issue.
Do have a look into profiles settings, do you get any error when accessing to the User Profiles settings for that same SSP?
I'm having the same problem. The "Office Server Web Services" (henceforth OSWS) site is available through HTTP on my app server, but not via HTTPS. It doesn't matter where I try to hit the HTTPS URL from, it just flat-out fails (read: no HTTP error code).
However, I have come up with some more information. When the app server was joined to the farm, it gave OSWS a different site identifier than exists in the rest of the farm.
I tried changing the site identifier, but that didn't work. I've also tried installing the IIS diagnostics toolkit. That pointed me towards the certificate that MOSS installed when the machine was joined to the farm. The line of interest is this one:
#WARNING: AcquireCredentialsHandle failed with error -2146893043(0x8009030d)
Unfortunately, it looks like Microsoft has embedded some information in the certificate that would prevent me from using SelfSSL or similar tools. Here's the subject (suitably scrubbed):
CN={hostname},L=951338967,OU=SharePoint,O=Microsoft
The "L" parameter matches the original (and incorrect) site identifier that the site was given and not the one that matches the rest of the farm.
My next step is to see if I can generate something that looks appropriate and install it with winhttpcertcfg.exe
We are also running x64 windows and moss 2007 with .net 3.5 sp1,same issues. I suspect this is the culprit.
To resolve this issue download the IIS6 resource kit and run the following command
Selfssl /s:(IIS ID of the Office Server Web Services site) /v:9999
Cheers,
-Ivan
