Azure Databricks connection issues from PowerBI Service via VNET Gateway

Hello All,

 

We are trying to create connection from PowerBI Service to Azure Databricks with our VNET Gateway. 

Current Status:
- We can connect to Azure Databricks from PowerBI Desktop

- We can create a connection type - Azure Databricks Workspace but not Azure Databricks 

- We can publish Dataset directly from Azure Databricks to PowerBI Service - but not able to authenticate user. 

 

Error message when we try to create connection with VNET GW - connection type Azure Databricks (Azure Databricks Workspace works) 
Details: vnet-aut-dbx-aut-powerbi-dev-westeurope-snet-aut-dbx-aut-powerbi-01-dev-westeurope: ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][ThriftExtension] (14) Unexpected response from server during a HTTP connection: SSL_connect: certificate verify failed.

 

Authentication Error after I published dataset from Azure Databricks directly to PowerBI Service (for all auth. methods): 
Failed to update data source credentials: ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][ThriftExtension] (14) Unexpected response from server during a HTTP connection: Bad Status: Unrecognized response:HTTP/1.1 302 Found.

Thank you for help 

  • Hello, I solved the issue. Problem was with the certificates from Azure Databricks. I downloaded the certificate from the browser and then I´ve installed it on the server where the GW is. After this, I was able to create a connection from PowerBI Service to Azure Databricks with On premise data GW.

      Hello @v-shex-msft,

      thank you for quick reply. Unfortunately, after some discussions with our security department we agreed on to use VNET gateway for such a connection. I would try to fix the VNET issues first.

      Regards,

      Ronald

      Hi, but where to install the certificate when using a VNET instead of an on-prem gateway? Also which connection type did you use for the on prem gateway

        data_eng When you use a VNET GW you have to whitelist this url - cacerts.digicert.com (192.229.221.95) VNET will download all necessary certificates to successfully connect to the DBX.
