Using Secure Web Service Methods

Certain Report Server Web service methods may require a secure connection when you invoke them. The methods that require a secure connection are determined by the SecureConnectionLevel setting in the RSReportServer.config file. The value of the setting is an integer value with a valid range of 0 and higher. The following table describes these values.

Level	Description
0	Not secure. Calls made to the Reporting Services SOAP API do not require a secure connection.
Greater than 0	Secure. All calls made to the Reporting Services SOAP API require a secure connection.

You can use the xref:ReportExecution2005.ReportExecutionService.ListSecureMethods%2A method of the Web service to return a list of Web service methods that require a secure connection according to the current configuration of the report server. In a TLS scenario, you should evaluate the list of methods that are returned by xref:ReportExecution2005.ReportExecutionService.ListSecureMethods%2A and change the scheme name of the Web service URI to "https" or "http" depending on the method being called.
