Refresh failed: Invalid credentials error for MySQL source on a Linux server (AWS).

I managed to download the Gateway, but when configuring it within the Power BI platform, I encounter an issue. In the authentication field, it only requests one password, but in our company's architecture, there is an SSH port (which has a password) connecting the gateway to AWS, and from AWS to MySQL, there is another connection password. I would need to provide these two passwords, but the Power BI platform only asks for one. Anyone know how to solve this issue?

As mentioned in my other reply - gateways need "line of sight" to the data source. They have no way of managing additional connection mechanics.
