Troubleshooting
When opening Viz Pilot Edge with HTTPS and the message "Failed to load URL" shows, it is likely that one of the steps mentioned above was not followed correctly.
To validate this issue, open the Viz Pilot Edge URL on Chrome or another browser, and check if the connection is secure.
If Not Secure is showing on the browser, usually the certificate is not correctly set up.
By clicking the Not Secure, it shows why it is not working properly. A common problem is the certificate not being installed in the specific folder.
