Hi guys,
I have an issue with the HTTP to HTPPS redirection on my PowerBI Report Server.
The redirection works fine in chrome, but it´s not working in other browser (IE, edge, Firefox).
I don´t think that it is an SSRS configuration issue because as I said it is working on Chrome.
Do you have any clue of which could be the root cause?
I am running the Power BI on a distributed environment (1 Power BI-Report Server, some SSAS, and 1 DB engine).
Any help will be appreciated.

Just because it works in 1 browser doesn't mean it is not a configuration issue. Each browser may interpret the redirect differently or may even be ignoring it. I've been fighting with some weird embed tag problem on one of my IIS servers... works fine for me in all browsers, some users have a blank page loading in IE, but works in other browsers, others yet have issues where it won't load in Chrome but works in other browsers. So my thoughts here are setting or addon differences and missing applications (need Adobe Acrobat for IE to use an embed tag to load a PDF). It could still be misconfiguration of the server or the browser or both.
My first steps when doing any browser based debugging is to load up the browser debugger and look for errors and correct the ones that I can. Once the errors are corrected, MOST of the time the problem I ran across is corrected as well. In the cases where it is not fixed by correcting the errors, my next stop is the server logs. Make sure that the server logs are not reporting any errors.
My questions for you are how did you configure the HTTP to HTTPS redirect? I know there are IIS modules that will do that for you and I have set those up in the past with moderate success. When you say that it doesn't work, what happens? Do you get a notice about the site not being secure? Do you get a blank page loading? Does it load the HTTP site and not the HTTPS site?
The above is all just my opinion on what you should do.
As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it. Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.
