Question : SSRS - configure https for Report Manager built-in links to Home | My Subscriptions | Site Settings | Help

Hi,

Does anyone know where the config setting for the Home | My Subscriptions | Site Settings | Help links is located?

I have configured the secure access (HTTPS / SSL) for my report server.  It is running as a stand alone report server -- no IIS as it is reporting services 2008sp1.  

My problem is that I can not find the settings or configuration page to change the built-in links at the top of the Report Manager page for Home | My Subscriptions | Site Settings | Help . The links are set to go to http so if I'm connected to the page and click on the link the application switches from https to http.  


NOTE: I have already tried forcing the app to use just https by following the instructions: "To set SSRS to require SSL connections, you need to change the RSReportServer.config file, located in the Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.#\Reporting Services \ReportServer folder" and the settings do not seem to affect the built in links for Home | My Subscriptions | Site Settings | Help.

It could be a couple of other things.

In RSReportServer.config, locate <UrlRoot>. Does it start with HTTPS and does it match the domain name shown in your certificate?

In RSWebApplication.config, locate <ReportServerUrl>. Does it start with HTTPS and does it match the domain name shown in your certificate?

If both of these are okay, also check your registry for the dword DisableLoopbackCheck located in HKEY_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa. If it doesn't exist, try creating it and then rebooting the server. I've seen this be needed when integrating SSRS 08 with SharePoint so it may be applicable here as well.
