Hi,
I'm having an issue with an OBDC connection. I've created (through PBI Desktop) and published to PBI service using various flat files and an external OBDC connection to a postgres database. For my OBDC connection, I just use the following OBDC connection string:
Driver={PostgreSQL Unicode(x64)}; Server=XX.XX.XX.XX; Port=5432; Database=XXXX
The connection has worked perfectly fine for a few months until I received a connection error today.
After researching, I was just told by my one of the admins that they switched over to SSL recently for that database. With that information, I figured I would just add ";sslmode=require" to the end of the string
Driver={PostgreSQL Unicode(x64)}; Server=XX.XX.XX.XX; Port=5432; Database=XXXX;;sslmode=require;
However adding this string gives me a FATAL: connection requires a valid client certificate error message. How do I fix this issue? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
@tonyk86 , Please check and do not miss any step. Or create a dataflow on power bi service and use that as source
