Data source authentication - two connectors
Hi Anonymous ,
Ensure that both connectors are properly set up with login credentials such as username/password or any other authentication method.
Authentication issues may also be related to the way the token is refreshed. Make sure that the refresh mechanisms of both connectors do not interfere with each other.
Do you notice any specific error messages in Power BI when authentication fails in dRofus connector, if so, share them for further troubleshooting and we can help you better!

Thank you Anonymous for your response.
When I refresh the query with the dRofus API, the update window shows that PowerBI is waiting for the API.
After a couple of minutes (server timeout?) I get the can't authenticate message.
What is unusual is that I set up the data source with basic authentication, but the error returns as anonymous.
Because this is the only dashboard that is having the authentication issue with the dRofus API, I am resigned on removing the dRofus API query, and replacing it with an Excel export from dRofus instead.
Thank you for your consideration.
