What is the error you are getting? Is it just one about incorrect username/password?

 

Have you tried entering the username in the form of <domain>\<username> ?

Hello, d_gosbell 

 

I face with the same issue that authentication is failed for connecting power bi report server to sharepoint on-premise.

Though I put correct account and password, it shows always it is failed.

Thing wierd is when I put the path to url in a web browser or windows explorer? it works but not in the data source of the power bi report server.

 

If you have any experience with this, please help me. 😉 thanx
