Hi Taico,

 

Thanks for posting your experience. If you change from "As the user viewing the report" to "Using the following credentials", then straight back to "As the user viewing the report" and test the connection, does it work?

 

Thanks

It does initially.

 

But if I leave the "Manage > Data sources" and return and test again it goes back to "Data source AnalysisServices is not supported."

    For sure - this is exactly the same for me here.

     

    If you monitor the HTTP requests being sent when you Test Connection, you can probably see that a different part of the ReportServer API is being called. The first press calls one method (which fails), when you change the connection type it triggers a different method to be called (which succeeds). If you navigate off the page and back to it, then the failing method is called again.

     

    Hope that someone from MS will pick this thread up and confirm this as a bug.

     

    All the best.
