Hi PowerBI Community,
Is there a way to add certificate in addition to regular WEB API basic authentication. We need to connect PowerBI to a third party app (ADP Web API) that needs both certificate and key autentication for data retrieval. Please advise.
Third party app needs these to authorize :
Client name, key, and signed certificate.
The certificate is now installed in both Trusted roots plus local account, personal.
PowerBI returns a 400 bad request message
Thanks!
@sherryliu,
I am afraid that certificate authentication is not supported in Power BI Desktop, a similar idea about this issue has been submitted in the following link, please vote it up.
