    Hi Matt,

     

    Try this:

     

    Clear the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) state. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
    2. Click the Content tab, and then click Clear SSL state.

    Or 

     

    You can ignore the certificate issue and it will let you connect to the PowerBI.com

Sorry, I don't have any more knowledget other than what was shared in this thread.  But yes, when I say "I know it is safe" I mean it is my server and I trust it, with or without certificates.  A certificate only helps me trust servers I don't know.

Is this the only solution? I've tried it and it hasn't worked. I am using "Get Date - Web" to hit an API from an internal server. It is coming back with the "The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel" error. I know the server is safe and trying to figure out how to use the API. Any other help with this?

    Did you manage to get this to work?  I am having a similar issue trying to use "Get Date - Web" to use an API from an internal server and the same error "The underlying connection was closed:  Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel".  I would be interested to hear if you managed to get this working.
