Blank page for SQL 2008 Reporting Services management site

Finally figured this out.  The Windows 2008 R2 image we use had the described setting enabled by default.  Had to disable in order for the Reporting services management page to work/display.

 

*** Report Manager fails after you enable FIPS compliant algorithms in Local Security Policy

After you enable the Local Security Policy "System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing", you are not able to use Report Manager. When you open Report Manager, your browser will be empty or show an "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error". A SQL Server 2008 R2 or later version of the report server will add an error message similar to the following in the report server service log file:

ui!ReportManager_0-1!1708!02/27/2010-08:02:03:: e ERROR: System.InvalidOperationException: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.

To work around this issue: At this time, there is no known work around. Report Manager does not support the Local Security Policy "System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing". If you want to use Report Manager you need to disable the setting and restart the report server service.

This issue applies to: SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services and SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services.
