Activating SQL Server Reporting Services failed. Setup failed to validate specified Reporting Services Report Server https://publishing. . /ReportServer.

Error: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) includes a loopback check security feature that is designed to help prevent reflection attacks on the computer. The 401 error message occurs because the name of the certificate does not match the name of the local computer.
