Adding a SSH connexion to Power Pro Service

‎05-03-2021 01:20 AM

Hello, 

Hope you're well.

I have a Power BI report that has a MySQL database as its data source, hosted locally in an AWS server. To connect to the server, I had to open an SSH connection with the Putty software.

My problem is now when publishing the report. I can't configure the data source and add it to the gateway. I still get an error that my credentials are wrong.

Has anyone had an error like this?

It really kind from you.

I've already found the solution.

All I had to do was to use the localhost as server and not check the encrypted connection box because MySQL does not support encrypted connections.
