What’s happening?
The Report Designer for Financial reports in Dynamics 365 cannot connect to the server, displaying an error message stating, "There was a problem communicating with the server" after the username is provided for login.

 
Reason:
This is suspected to be caused by a firewall blocking the necessary communication ports, which cannot be disabled due to company policy.

 
Resolution:
To resolve this, ensure that the following ports are open in the firewall: - Ports 80 and 443 - Additionally, check if port 4712 is open, as it is often used by the Management Reporter server for communication.
