Hi Anonymous,

thanks for your reply, I've worked through these posts and got the following result:

  • Authentication via Postman/Insomnia works as expected.
  • Authentication via Power BI Desktop works as expected.
  • Authentication via app.powerbi.com fails with the same error as in my original post. Credentials are  the same as in the PBI Desktop connection.

Is there a way to debug or have a detailed log of the app.powerbi.com data source connection attempts? I guess that the error shown has no relation to an actual token refresh - as the data source connection never gets authorized, and the odata service never receives a request. Unfortunately I have no clue how to debug the app.powerbi.com-platform, nor do I know how to do this in the Azure portal. It would be really useful to know what the auth-request from app.powerbi.com to Azure AD looks like.
