Hi v-jiascu-msft,

 

I did use the OData connector. However, in the Authentication method dropdown I only see the first three options you screenshotted (Anonymous, Basic, WindowsWithoutImpersonation). I've tried all three of them but none of them seemed to get through the authentication on the OData service end. I spoke with the service supplying the data and they said that PowerBI needed to support AAD when fetching the data for auto refresh.

Cecille

Hi Cecille,

 

I tested it again with a new data source. If I authenticate the connection with Organization Account in the Desktop, the Auth2 will appear in the Service. Please refer to the snapshot below.

BTW, It's Organization Account in the Desktop which is AAD authentication.
