Unable to obtain development certificate in Xcode

Question

I'm trying to get a development certificate for first time going to Organizer > Devices > Library > Provisioning Profiles. There, I click the refresh button at the bottom, and I'm promted to enter my Apple Developer username and the password. I do, but it doesn`t connect, I'm shown a popup with a "The request timed out" message. If I enter my Apple Developer credentials in the Member Center website, I can access correctly. Why could this be happening? Could it be because I don't have an "Admin" profile for the Developer Programs (I'm a "Member" user)?

Thanks!

I had no idea how to get to the option in Xcode to create a Developer certificate, and this question was the only place on the internet I could find after a while of searching that actually answered that question.

You can check your firewall/network settings too.

Xcode seems to check for components/documentation updates... anyway, where can I check the proxy settings for Xcode? – AppsDev Jul 04 '13 at 07:54
xcode sometimes uses port which may be closed by your network admins. – karim Jul 04 '13 at 07:56
It certainly was a network issue, nothing to do with my developer user profile. Thanks – AppsDev Jul 04 '13 at 14:33
