Problem Description
This document is provides instructions on what actions should be taken if the Microsoft Reporting Services
symmetric key is corrupted while using the Reporting for call Centre application (RCC)

SUMMARY
Issue Details
Reporting for Contact Center requires Microsoft Reporting Services to create an encryption key. This is created
during the installation of RCC. In the event that the Microsoft Reporting Services encryption key is compromised a
user may see one of a range of error messages containing the text ‘cannot decrypt the symmetric key’:

Affected RCC Versions
RCC 2.45 Stream up to and including RCC 2.45.108
RCC 2.5 Stream up to and including RCC 2.5.462
RCC 2.6 Stream up to and including RCC 2.6.414
Note 1:This issue should not be seen on installations using RCC 2.6.415 or later. That build of RCC contains
modifications to overcome this problem. These modifications will be added to a future build of the RCC 2.45 Stream.
