SAP AG LIBODBCHDB DLL HDBODBC General error 10 authentication failed

Hi, mbfrr1

We have tried the stand alone version of Power BI Desktop yet we continue to recieve this error. Is there a trick to making this work? Or does Power BI Desktop not work using HANA LDAP?

You can connect to HANA using Power BI with an LDAP user.

A solution has been offered to try installing the PowerBI Desktop through the standalone installer instead of the Microsoft Store, then HANA ldap authentication works as expected.

The problem is related to how you install PowerBI Desktop.  If you install the application through the Microsoft Store, HANA ldap authentication does NOT work.  If you install PowerBI Desktop through the standalone installer, provided at, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58494, then HANA ldap authentication works as expected.  We have tested this on over a dozen machines with over a dozen user accounts, and all were fixed by uninstalling through the Microsoft Store, and installing the standalone package.

Hope this helps.
