Encryption Error when Connecting to Impala

A couple of weeks ago I was able to connect to Impala through Power BI. Recently, I have been getting an error stating:

Like many other posts have suggested, I unchecked the "Encrypt connections" box:

I have deleted credentials, re-added them, cleared permissions and re-added, but I am still getting that pesky error. I have tried to some searching of other posts and they have all suggested to uncheck the box. That is not working.

 

Any ideas? I feel like I am at a loss right now.

Hi @mcmum01 

 

Have you tried clicking OK on the Encryption Support dialogue? It is a confirmation message that confirms with you to use an unencrypted connection. Click OK and it will continue to connect to the data source. Have a try!

 

Kindly let me know if this helps.

I did do that. The second screenshot shows the "Encryption Connections" box unchecked.

What is the behavior after that? Is there any error message?

I get the same "encryption support" error when I refresh the data.
