Could not connect to the report server.

Today when I was trying to deploy a Report project using SQL Server 2008 BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio), I receieved the following error: Microsoft Report Designer Could not connect to the report server http://computername:8080/ReportServer. Verify that the TargetServerURL is valid and that you have the correct permissions to connect to the report server. Additional information: The operation has timed out (System.Web.Services) And the deployment of the project failed.  I examined the rsreportserver.config located on the \Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer directory and found SSL was configure on the report server. I edited the rsreportserver.config file, and changed the key <Add Key="SecureConnectionLevel" Value="2"/> to <Add Key="SecureConnectionLevel" Value="0"/>. Then I was able to deploy the report project succesfully. ------ Build started: Project: MorilloBasicTableReport, Configuration: Debug ------ Build complete -- 0 errors, 0 warnings ------ Deploy started: Project: MorilloBasicTableReport, Configuration: Debug ------ Deploying to http://computername:8080/ReportServer Deploying report '/MorilloBasicTableReport/Sales by Area'.
