You should select the authentiation type and then the sharepoint refresh will work.

Hi all

I am having the same issue while trying to create a data source in the gateway for Sharepoint.

I entered my credentials in a Window Authentication mode and got the error - "The credentials provided for the SharePoint source are invalid."

In the desktop version with the same credentials works fine.
I ping to the SharePoint folder from the gateway server and it is open in the firewall to the folder. 

Any help would be much appreciated. 

Thanks,

Nadav

    With the help of Microsoft support then problem solved. We don't need to add Sharepoint to the gateway.

    The report will connect to it without a data source in the gateway. 

    All you need is to sign in with the right user.

    Try again authenticating in the SharePoint credentials , it has to work.

    Hi,

     

    I also have the same problem.  Even if I go to "Edit Credentials" and sign in using my log in details, it's still not working.  When I scheduled the refresh, the refresh still failed with the Invalid Connection Credentials.

     

    Is there any way this can be solved?

     

    Thanks,

    Lei

    Thanks.. this is pretty counterintuitive since the GUI of the gateway encourage you to add sharepoint to the gateway. 

    Worked following your tip! 🙂
