Ok, my fault... I removed the "https://" from the address and it worked!

I just installed MABS following this doc (https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-microsoft-azure-backup) on a new Windows 2022 server (datacenter) and it can't connect to my vCenter.
I can connect through a browser, from the very same server, with no error (valid certificate etc).
Can anyone help me, please?
