Data Source change
Hello,
I recently moved from a local sever to an AWS Lightsail one.
I am trying to change the source of my reports' data (tables) to my new AWS database and it keeps on showing
DataSource.Error: An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.'
Details:
DataSourceKind=PostgreSQL
DataSourcePath= (the path of my AWS Endpoint)
Any suggestions ?
(both of the databases are postgres the local and the AWS)
Hi, dmagos
Thanks for rajendraongole1's reply. The documentation states that you need to Configure the public availability of your PostgreSQL database in order to increase accessibility for external users, for details you can check the following documentation.Best Regards,

Hi dmagos - as per above information, power bi is rejecting the SSL certificate provided by your AWS Lightsail PostgreSQL instance because it cannot validate it. This usually happens when the database uses a self-signed certificate or an invalid/expired certificate.
The AWS security group allows inbound traffic from your Power BI client IP address on the PostgreSQL port (default is 5432).
The hostname in your connection string matches the Common Name (CN) or Subject Alternative Name (SAN) of the SSL certificate.
