Ok I may just be missing something simple here but I cant seem to get this to work.....
any time I click on "export to pdf" I get "Export to PDF failed. Err: The remote server returned an error: (401)Unathorized"
any ideas?
If you look on the SolarWinds server under drive:/Program Files/SolarWinds/Orion I believe it is called permissionchecker.exe
Are you using HTTP or HTTPS for access to your Orion server?
HTTP
I have found that Load Balancing causes havoc when using this feature. if you are using LBs, try to hit the server directly.
We are not using Load Balancing, all connections are direct
ok, I had a ticket opened for this. the following worked for me:
let me know if the following steps help, if not i would need a copy ofthe diagnostics and screenshot on how you configure the send as pdf in adoc file and export to us, so we can send for discussion:Orion NPM will use NPM Server’s local Browser to do that,By Default Windows Server 2003 shipped with security locked down bydefault. < http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537180%28VS.85%29.aspx<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537180%28VS.85%29.aspx> >http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537180(VS.85).aspx<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537180(VS.85).aspx> Steps to perform:1. Log into Orion Web Site, Goto Admin Tab and Clear the Cache.2. Clear Internet Explorer temporary internet files.3. Be sure that ActiveX is enabled.4. Add the ORION to the "Trusted Sites" in Internet Explorer Securitysettings.5. You may also need to edit some of Security Settings & Privacy Tabs inIE. In the IE, go to: Tools > Internet Options > Privacy; andunder the 'Advanced' button choose: 'Override automatic cookie handling', and flag 'Always allowsession cookies'.
He also had me run the permissions checker. (FYI I'm running 2008, so locations may be different)
can you also let us knowwhat happens when you run the orion permission checker atprogram files -> solarwinds -> orion -> OrionPermissionChecker.exeif there is errors, please fix it. and retry the report
Im also running Orion on 2008,
There is no OrionPermissionChecker.exe found on the server
the Orion website is already in trusted
