Power BI Desktop fails to connect to Azure Data bricks

Hey, has anyone encountered and resolved the following error when trying to connect to Azure Databricks from PowerBI Desktop?

Details: "ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][ThriftExtension] (14) Unexpected response from server during a HTTP connection: SSL_connect: certificate verify failed."

I've tried different approaches:

1) With and without corporate VPN enabled on my laptop

2) Authentication using both personal access token and Azure sign-in

3) Sources: Azure Databricks and Spark

And get the same error message.

PowerBI Desktop version is 2.100.1182.0 64-bit (December, 2021)

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Have you referred to this document (https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/databricks/integrations/bi/power-bi) when you connected to Azure Databricks? You were using Import or DirectQuery to connect to Azure Databricks? Did you have this issue for the same data source before?
