    If you're unable to create a connection when using Microsoft Edge, please check your Trusted Sites (Control Panel > Internet Options > Security > Trusted Sites > Sites), and do one of the following:

    Remove https://*.sapbusinessobjects.cloud/ from your Trusted Sites.

    Or

    Add about:blank and https://accounts.google.com/ to your Trusted Sites. To add about:blank, you'll need to clear the “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone” option temporarily, but you can re-enable it afterward.

    You may need to restart your computer after making this change.
