Hi,
I have webapi under development and hosted using IIS Express (triggered from Visual Studio F5 command) over https. Following is the one of the url:
https://localhost:446/api/v1/summary
I can hit this url from Chrome, Edge and Postman too. But when I am trying to "Get Data" in Power BI Desktop, using Get Data -> Other -> Web -> and giving this url. It is returning me following error:
Details: "The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel."
On Chrome or on Edge we have option to go advance by clicking detail and click on following link to bypass the cert error:
This site is not secure -> Detail -> "Go on to the webpage (Not recommended)"
How could we bypass the same from Power BI for local development purposes.
Please try following steps to see if it helps.
Best Regards,
Herbert
I am having this issue as well. I have tried to clear the SSL state and have had no luck resolving the issue. Anything else that can be tried, to ignore the cert validation on internal, trusted servers?
