Error configuring the Power BI Analysis Services Connector

[andyg]

Hi,

I'm getting an error at the 'Sign in to your Power BI' account stage of configuring the Power BI Analysis Services Connector. We use ADFS to authenticate, and I receive the following error when redirected to our organisation's login page:

An error occurred. Contact your administrator for more information.

I'm getting this error with version 1.5.5675.2 of the connector. I am able to install and configure the preview version (1.4.5576.2) on the same server using the same account without any problems.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy

If it helps anyone else, we managed to resolve the issue by enabling Forms Authentication as a primary authentication method for the Intranet zone in ADFS.

I have exactly the same error. I can connect to Power BI via the internet, but not when configuration the SSAS connector. Any help is appreciated.
