Hi,

 

I have the same issue.

4 connections, all test ok, but on refresh one will have authentication errors ( a different one every time). Go into credentials, update them. Test all connections, all ok, on refresh ..... 

 

The connections are 2 SQL, and 2 Oracle.

Hi,

 

I have experienced a similar issue to this with multiple connections... In our case, when updating the credentials for a single connection and hitting save, it would cause issues for the other connections - this would be verified by immediately testing all connections after the update - some would fail.

 

To work around the issue I had to to enter the credentials for all connections of the report before hitting save - even if they were not edited.

 

Not sure if this is relevant to you.

    Hi,

     

    Thanx, I found out something similar, I need to hit SAVE after updating a connection. Not updating more than 1 at a time seems to work.
