If AggreGate Server uses non-standard port numbers (secure and/or non-secure) to accept web connections, the connection to Web Desktop using the above URLs will fail. In this case:

Check current port numbers in AggreGate Server configuration file or by connecting to AggreGate Server using AggreGate Client and browsing global configuration
Substitute port number in one of the above URLs and try accessing the server again
