Odata AAD We were unable to connect because this credential type isn't supported for this resource

[RHAD]

I have a Azure MVC / Webapi app that exposes a odata feed. The app is protected by Azure Active Directory (Oauth).

When I try to add the datasource and set the authentication to "Organizational Account" and try to sign in I get the error message:

We were unable to connect because this credential type isn't supported for this resource. Please choose another credential type. 

Is there any way I can use Power BI to query this odata feed?

@RHAD were you able to query that data through Power BI after all? I am trying to do the exact same thing, querying data from an api app in Azure, but I am getting the same error message. Any tips on how to work around that?

Same here! 

Anyone manage to resolve this? Is there something I need to do to my app to be "compatible" with Power BI?

Hi @RHAD,

The error message might be caused by connecting with the wrong credentails. Make sure the account you used has permission to access organization. 

When you clicked sign in button under "Organizational Account" pane, were you prompted for entering your credentials (AAD credential) for the data source?

As Power Query caches your credential information if you entered other credentials before, so please delete the credential (

Power BI Desktop - choose File - Options and Settings - Data Source Settings - Select a data source and click Edit - Delete credentials) and try to connect again.

Reference: We were unable to connect because this credential type isn't supported for this resource

Update credentials in Power BI Desktop
