Comment on Excel Services: Data Refresh Failed by paul t

i need SERIOUS help. i’ve done all of this, i’m in a 3 server farm, it’s dev, so everything was configured using the same account, i know this account has correct permission. i’m using SSO, and the data will refresh just fine in the excel workbook, but i’m still getting this error in the excel services web part. i’ve tried all of this using two separate farms, and i’ve used two different sql servers in the domain for each farm to make sure it wasn’t a setting on the sql server. is there anything else that can be causing this issue (in my excel services settings, i’ve allowed data refresh, and i’ve allowed for all types of data connections (embedded et al). the report library is trusted as well as the data connection library. when i go into my logs, i see no excel services errors. HELP!!

Hi
I am testing the custom security extension and am just using the Microsoft sample and getting the empty page. I have tested all of the steps which you have mentioned with no luck. FYI I have changed the directory security to anonymous but it’s running under a domain user which is a domain administrator. Any other reason do you know which can cause this issue?
Thanks
Mohsen

Make sure you’re logged in as a user in the local admin group. This was my problem.

This will make the site use kerberos instead of NTLM
What Could be done for NTLM?

Did you try to add the report manager site to the “Trusted Sites”?
If it still doesn’t work, check the security settings of the Trusted Sites and change the User Authentication to “Automatic logon with current username and password.”

I ran as “Administrator” but still not getting “Properties” on Report Manager page. Any idea?

Thanks

Comment on OLAP Reporting with Excel 2007: Use Member Properties!! by Davy

No, you can’t. Properties can’t be used as a filter or in a hierarchy.

Is it possible to do the same with report filters? I have a hierachy which is used as a filter – the name that makes sense to the user is in a member property
