Help with Standard Gateway Connection Error Network Drive

[WishAskedSooner]

Hi Experts!

I am trying to configure a Standard Gateway for a Semantic Model that connects to a file on a Network Drive e.g. X:\NetworkDrive\file.xlsx

However, no matter what I try, I always get a error during the connection test saying my credentials are not valid. The only authentication option available is Windows.

I am able to configure a Personal Mode Gateway, but there are significant limitations which is why I want to configure a Standard Gateway.

TIA!

Hi @WishAskedSooner 

My suggestions is don't use your Windows PIN. You can use your windows registered account name and password.

for example:

name@outlook.com

password@908

Please try in this way and let me know if it worked.

Thank you!

Hi @suparnababu8,

Thank you so much for your quick response! I am desparate for help here.

I tried your suggestion:

Windows Username: myusername@mycompanyname.com

Windows Password: mysupersecretpwd

But, same result. FWIW, previously I was just inputting myusername without the @companyname.

Any other suggestions?

I have tried putting my domain in front e.g. Domain\myusername

I am out of options.

Hi @WishAskedSooner 

Apologies. Oh my bad. Don't use email name as username. Just use your windows pc registered name. get it from commmand prompt. if you type whoami in your command prompt. you will get your windows user name and you can enter your account passowrd. 

for example your windows username: 

password is my windows account registered email id password.

This way it works for me.

Try in this way and let me know if it helps you.

Thank you!

Hi @suparnababu8,

Once again, thank you! I didn't know about the whoami cmd.

I tried and it still doesn't work. Just to clarify. You type in supar, or suparnababu\supar?

Thank you so much! I am trying to rule out all possibilities of user error before I elevate this.

suparnababu\supar
