After installing some patches during routine maintenance, we were
notified a few days later by some customers stating that they were
unable to view reports in SQL. They go to the website https://<server>
and recieve the following error:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to
process request. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference
not set to an instance of an object. at
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.ExtensionClassFactory.GetExtensionConfigurationInfo
(String extensionType, String extensionName) at
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.ExtensionClassFactory.GetNewInstanceExtensionClass
(String extensionName, String extensionType) at
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.AuthenticationExtensionFactory.GetAuthenticationExtension
(AuthenticationType authType) at
Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.WebServiceHelper.ConstructRSServiceObjectFromSecurityExtension
() at
Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2005..ctor()
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I have rolled back all of the patches that were installed and am still
seeing the error on the page.

Server is Windows 2003 Enterprise running SQL 2005. If more
information is needed, please let me know as I am struggling to figure
this one out.

Actual url is:
https://<server>/report

I was able to fix this by re-installing SQL Reporting Services 2005 on
the server. I did restore the original database for the reporting
server. However, I did not think to backup the encryption key, and I
am now getting the following error in the eventlog:
Report Server has not been granted access to the catalog content

I am not sure what caused this, but from what I have seen online, it
may have something to do with the lack of an encryption key. Any
other suggestions?
