Hello:
I have an Azure SQL server instance up and running-- I can connect just fine to it using SSMS.
When trying to connect via Power BI Desktop to the same database instance, I'm presented with the following:
Details: "Microsoft SQL: The target principal name is incorrect. Cannot generate SSPI context."
My research on this pointed me to a Kerberos authenticaion issue. Do I need to setup a firewall pinhole (rule) to allow Power BI to make a connection to the SQL server instance? What's causing this error to present and how can I fix it?
Thanks for the guidance.
