Report manager will not connect

I have moved the sites from the default sites to another website that all
ready had a cert installed. I have changed the config files in both report
manager and reportserver to point to https://website/reportserver for the
url. The reportserver site works but I get an error on the reportmanager site:
The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server.
This site did work while it was on the default site under port 80.
-DanI'm having the same problem with an SBS server. Did you ever find a solution
for this?

Report Manager help URL set to http, not https

We have an SSL cert in place on our production platform and for some reason
the help link in report manager is calling the help page through http, not
https and subsequently the call fails.
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the link to https somewhere in
the config files?
All other links work OK.
Thanks
DarrenHi Darren,
I have the same problem...
Did you manage to find a resolution?
Cant seem to find one on the newsgroups.
Many Thanks

as well as https.

-Mo|||Alex and Darren,
Sorry to disagree with Daniel Reib. There is a work around.
1) Access the IIS Manager
2) Go to the Default Web Site. Find the 'Reports' virtual directory and
expand
3) Locate the folders that have a sub folder â'helpâ'.
4) Right click and select properties
5) Go to the Directory Security tab, click the â'Editâ' button under Secure
communications
6) Uncheck the checkbox for â'Require secure channel (SSL)â'.
7) All the sub folders with that contain a help file donâ't require
SSL â'deâ', â'enâ', â'esâ', â'frâ', â'itâ', â'jaâ', â'koâ'.
Your Help link should work. The Help files really don't require SSL anyway.
Cheers!
