** Authentication Issue

I tried turning off my firewall and running my windows defender but that didn't work.

I enabled the stack trace in Power BI and saw the error messages. There is an issue with PowerBI being able to authenticate my username. For TFS and some other applications I believe it connects automatically to my vpn once I log in but I noticed it does not with Power BI.

I went in and made sure that my VPN was connected and then it worked. It prompted to restart the Power BI desktop but then I was able to login.

Are you successfully signed in on the Desktop? You can turn on tracing to see what is going on, go to File | Options and settings | Options | Diagnostics and click "enable tracing". Try to publish and then go check your trace folder.

I am guessing that if this is not an intermittent issue, that there it is a firewall or proxy issue of some sort.

In my case I solved by disabling the antivirus .

Hi, I am having the same issue here. Disabling firewall did not work.

Any other idea?

I just had the same issue connecting to Azure API (Azure embedded service) and I just can't believe, but this is what worked for me:

I noticed that in Action center (I'm using Win10) I had message, that I have not run Windows defender for some time - after I did a Quick scan - I tried to run my application again, and now this problem was gone.

So I suppose anti-virus is doing some silent content blocking if some stuff it asks is not done.

Security is very important, but having a bit more descriptive information would be all to spare some painful moments
