    Hi, Akash_K_Sinha 

     

    Power BI Desktop does support mutual TLS authentication, but it requires TLS version 1.2 or higher to secure your endpoints. You also need to configure the client certificate in Power BI Desktop to authenticate with the server that has its own trusted root authority.

    One of the web sources suggests using Mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) to connect through a TCPS (Secure TCP) database connection using standard TLS 1.2 with a trusted client certificate authority (CA) certificate.
