How do I Setup & Configure SQL Reporting Services to work with SQL Server 2008

I am getting the following error on this during the final install of CRM. It seems to be from a setting I do not understand. What exactly is it saying I need to do? Please advise.

Setup failed to validate specified Reporting Services Report Server http://OURSERVER/ReportServer. Error: The operation you are attempting requires a secure connection (HTTPS).
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The operation you are attempting requires a secure connection (HTTPS). ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.SecureConnectionRequiredException: The operation you are attempting requires a secure connection (HTTPS).

The CRM installation does not seem to want to clear those Red X 's can I still go back an reconfigure or do I need to go in to the Report Services Configuration manager and go to the Web.

Where do I go to change that HTTP to HTTPS?
Is it a simple text entry change?

I heard that the HTTPS is more secure somewhere. Would it be smarter to go with the HTTPS? How

Yes when I click on the link I get the page that says Report Server no errors on that black and white page

Do I have to do the whole install again or can I just go back and see if the codes clear then move on.
You could just use the back button and try the new URLs.
I did put in a unique port number which I have for CRM and....
In the install of CRM when Specifying the Report Services Server I saw the
http://OURSERVER/ReportServer
I was wondering if the Report Server URL was where I should put the change of the HTTP to the HTTPS
Try that, change to HTTPS for your reprt server setting
I think I am on to something thanks to you totally. When I went back and changed the pecifying the Report Services Server to HTTPS I got a much shorter message which makes me think now I need to do something..........that something I do not know to validate the certificate.

A server certificate could not be validated for URL: https://OURSERVER/ReportServer.
Okay now both links are working they take me to a blank page with something like the image below.

When I try to back up say to the Specifying the Report Services Server then try to get past the " Systems Requirement" page I still get the red x with the error:
A server certificate could not be validated for URL: https://OURSERVER/ReportServer.

When I went back to do the bottom link the system asked me to accept a certificate. I did and when I went back to the link it launched me into the site I logged in and got the image below.

Some of these solutions helped us get a bit farther. We still do not have it completely configured. it was a help though. Thank you.
