Hi,

  1. I've set up an AD connection (basic authentication) this morning and imported a few accounts.
  2. I've created a Data Streaming job.
  3. I can run the Streaming job from a browser fine (Chrome and MSIE)
  4. I cannot connect Power BI to the Streaming url as Power BI whinges with a "We couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided" error.

     

     

  5. I have tried connecting Power BI to the Streaming url with an FME Server System account, ie Basic access and it connects fine.

I can obviously set up FME System Server account users but we want to use AD connectivity.

Has anyone else managed to get FME Server streaming working with Power BI?

 

Thanks

Hi @stevejames,

Thanks for your question. For the Data Streaming URL that you feed to Power BI - what does this look like exactly? What are the permissions on the repository, workspace, and streaming service called via the URL? Would you be able to include a screenshot of the Power BI connector page and the error?

Thanks,

 

Nathan

Hi, I am able to call the streaming service from the url in a normal browser so all permissions are in place. Specifically I allow READ and RUN on the appropriate repository.

You can download Power BI for free here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55330

We are using the 64 bit Report Server version but the error occurs on the other desktop version as well; https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/

Thanks
