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?
Best Regards,
