Take the following steps on the Windows computer from which you are attempting the merge:

- Open Network and Internet
- Click Internet Options
- The Internet Properties box will open.
- Click on the Security tab.
- Click on the green check mark labeled Trusted Sites.
- Click on the button labeled Sites.
- In the Trusted Sites window that opens,
- Make sure the check box labeled “Require server verification (https) for all sites in this zone” IS not checked. (A change was made to allow this without HTTPS)
- In the text box labeled “Add this website to the zone:”, enter the client URL, such as members.asid.org.
- Click on the Add button.
- Click OK to apply the changes and to close the box.
