SSRS 2022 Embedded images not appearing when taskbar = False

Question

Reports with embedded images work perfect when taskbar = true. However, the resources can not be found when = false.

I've spent over 2 hours with ChatGpt troubleshooting logs and configuration settings.

My wildcard cert is working perfectly.

Both portal and service urls are 443 only. 80 is blank.

I'm running the latest version: 16.0.1116.38.

I did update registry to enable strong crypto as well.

Hi Chris Polito!

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

I understand your frustration with the embedded images not appearing in SSRS 2022 when the taskbar is set to false. Here are some detailed steps and considerations to help you troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. Verify Image URLs

Ensure that the URLs for the embedded images are correct and accessible. Sometimes, the issue can be due to mixed content (HTTP vs. HTTPS). Make sure all image URLs are using HTTPS if your portal and service URLs are set to 443 only.

2. Check Browser Compatibility

Different browsers may handle embedded content differently. Try accessing the report using different browsers (e.g., Edge, Chrome, Firefox) to see if the issue persists across all of them.

3. Update SSRS Configuration

Ensure that your SSRS configuration is up-to-date and correctly set up. You mentioned updating the registry to enable strong crypto, which is good. Double-check other configuration settings related to security and content delivery.

4. Use &rc:Toolbar=False Parameter

When using the &rc:Toolbar=False parameter, it can sometimes cause issues with rendering embedded images. This is a known issue in some versions of SSRS. Ensure that you are using the latest updates and patches for SSRS.

5. Review SSRS Logs

Check the SSRS logs for any errors or warnings related to the embedded images. The logs can provide valuable insights into what might be causing the issue. Look for any entries related to image rendering or resource access.

6. Test with a Simple Report

Create a simple report with a single embedded image and test it with the taskbar set to false. This can help isolate whether the issue is with the specific report or a broader configuration problem.
