Anonymous Authorization

Hi

 

I'm trying to access multiple zip files stored in AWS. I'm attempting to use Mark Whites solution

 

The AWS url is structured as folllows: 

https://baseURL/filename.zip

 

The issue I'm facing is that I need to "specify how to connect" for each zip file within Power BI Desktop, which is the Anonymous authentication option.

 

I'm unable to apply this authentication type on the baseURL level = "Access to the resource is forbidden".

 

Is there any way around this?
