    I've followed the steps, but still getting the "remote certificate" error. Using an ODBC connection works fine though.

    Is there already a working solution available? I've tried above proposed solution, including using a qualified aws domain and physical ip address. The standard Postgres adapter in Power BI is still not working. There are no issues when connecting via database management tools, like PGAdmin or DBeaver, or other BI tools, like Qlik Sense.

    Hi v-henryk-mstf 've tried all the proposed solutions on this forum, including using a qualified aws domain and physical ip address. The standard Postgres adapter in Power BI is still not working. There are no issues when connecting via database management tools, like PGAdmin or DBeaver, or other BI tools, like Qlik Sense, to the AWS Postgres database without using 3rd party ODBC tools. I also don't understand why a PBI gateway is necessary while the AWS Postgres database is running in the cloud. So, I think @Microsoft is probably doing this for a competitive reason, since they also offering an Azure Postgres solution, which seems to be working without any issues.
