Problems with connecting against Azure Spark on HDInsight
Hello I am trying out PowerBI together with Azure Spark on HDInsight.
However I am failing with connecting PowerBI with Azure Spark.
I only get "We are unable to establish connection, please check connection information."
The connection information is looking correct atleast. Im sure on the password and username.
The server name i enter like this:
<clustername>.azurehdinsight.net
Does anyone know how I can get more information on why it fails?

My first guess would be authentication, how are you authenticating, OAuth?
Hello,
Thanks for taking some time and trying to help me.
I login with the regular username and password that is registered through Spark on Azure (the admin user I use to access anything with spark).
It can be good to know have been following this guide: https://azure.microsoft.com/sv-se/documentation/articles/hdinsight-apache-spark-use-bi-tools/ and im stuck at Step4 in the title "Use Power BI to analyze data in the Hive table"
A year later and I'm running into this issue, too! There seems to be some nuance that I'm missing about connecting to the cluster - although our authentication is set up to be a basic username and password. And we have no ports blocked to the cluster. What a headache!
