    Hi Matt,

     

    Try this:

     

    Clear the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) state. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
    2. Click the Content tab, and then click Clear SSL state.

    Or 

     

    You can ignore the certificate issue and it will let you connect to the PowerBI.com

Hi,

I am having the same error which is reported in the server RSPortal log: "The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel."

On the webpage all I get is 

 

I can also see this error on the page:

 

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

 

Thanks
