Azure Blob Storage "The specified resource does not exist"

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Azure Blob for some reason isn't connecting to PBI. I keep receiving errors saying the below.

I take the URL from the Azure container itself, so I'm not sure why this is now failing.

Has anyone got a clue why? I don't seem to be getting prompted for an account key.

Kind regards,

Jordan

Hi all,

It seems I've solved this one myself. When connecitng to Blob via my normal desktop, instead of using a virtual machine (Citrix), I'm able to get it without issue. My colleage who also uses Citrix cannot connect at all, so I'm making the assumption here that AAD rejects the virtual machine connection. 

I'll mark this as the solution for now and update this comment once my company has resolved the issue. 

EDIT: Solved this. The issue came down to connecting as Anon rather than using accouunt key as the credentials. If you go into data source settings you can change this.

Kind regards,

It could be due to the access policy or authentication method.
