We are currently taking a number of existing Power BI reports and converting to use the Data Connector
Currently, we have worked through a number of examples and implemented non-authenticated connectors OK
So far, no success with usaing authenticated data sources; there is some documentation alright e.g. https://github.com/Microsoft/DataConnectors/blob/master/docs/m-extensions.md, which is helpful, but is short on examples
We are using the Visual Studio extension to develop the connector; when testing, it asks for the credentials - fine. But having done so, it promptly forgets them and asks for the credentials again ... and again
Must be something simple? But this seems to be a fairly new area, so information is bit lacking. Help please!
Thanks Michael, but those examples uses OAuth, which is a rather more complicated; we want to start with simple Username / Password; are you aware of any examples that start there?
Follow up, in case this helps others: got the OAUTH Data Connector (DC) per the GitHub link above to work OK, with only a little "fiddling"; the core part is the Authentication element, where the functions that actually implement OAUTH are defined (StartLogin etc.)
DataConnectorName = [
TestConnection = (dataSourcePath) => { "DataConnectorName.Feed" },
Authentication = [
OAuth = [
StartLogin=StartLogin,
FinishLogin=FinishLogin,
Refresh=Refresh,
Logout=Logout
]
],
Label = "My Graph Connector"
];
We also have another DC which uses anonymous authentication, which is pretty simple, in that respect, per below
// Data Source Kind description
DataConnectorName= [
TestConnection = (dataSourcePath) => {"DataConnectorName.Feed"},
Authentication = [Implicit = []],
Label = "DataConnectorName"
];
