I cannot connect Postgres SQL to Power BI

Hello everyone,

 

I have got a problem with Postgres SQL connector.

I got the following message:

When I am trying to edit credentials, by default I am getting old password which is no longer in use (this already was working on the new one).

When I enter the Power BI service, I also have old credentials.

It seems like a security issue as I am able to connect to database in pgAdmin environment.

 

Has anyone experienced that and could guide a little?

 

Thank you.

Bart

Hi. Thank you for this suggestion. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

Whenever I am trying to change global source settings, saving changes and coming back to global source settings again, old credentials are kept.

 

I am getting either "credentials invalid" error or with certificate one.

The same happens when I want to "get data" from an empty pbi file.

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

Same when you try from a different PC?

Try clearing the credentials in the global data source settings, and reauthenticating.
