Hi,
how can I configure a connection to a website, which uses a self-signed certificate and username/password authentication. I do trust the self-signed certificate and the website. ( all Selfsigned Certificate has no revocations, therefor nothing to turn off.)
If it is possibel to connect/test it with M-Language, instead of trying on every wrong locations in the PowerBI?
Thanks
Hi @Anonymous
I'm afraid that currently Power BI doesn't support to authenticate with self-signed certificates. You can vote up the following ideas regarding the similar requirements:
Microsoft Idea · Client certificate authentication option in Power Query
Microsoft Idea · Support TLS client cert based authentication
Or you can try exporting your self-signed certificate and importing it into the 'Trusted Root Certificate Authorities' store on your computer. I haven't tested this method so I'm not sure whether it is working. Here is the link: How to export your self-signed appliance SSL certificate to use with Excel or Power BI

Hi,

Of cause I've done this at first. But PowerBI's web connection steal not funtion. Therefor I ask, why and why not, and if in M-Language there is a method to create a webconnection/accept selfsigned certificate or don't care any about "security", if someone/procedure else do take care before and/or during the session.
Maybe I don't know PowerBI well, but I can't image that PowerBI cannot resolve such problem by default! PowerBI transforms data begin or based on some session, which will be build with some connector, secure or not, selfsigned or not... The main problem is: I need the data, I trust the website and the connection proteced using selfsigned certificate is good enough for such cases.
I hope, some one can give me a solution for such cases.
Thanks
