Web Based Data Extract - Resets to Anonymous Authentication
Hi All, I'm using PowerBI Desktop to extract CSV data from a website that requires basic authentication. Everything is working great in the PBI Desktop client. I'm able to refresh the data with...
Same issue here. I suspect the order of occurrence is the API call fails and returns a 40x response, then PowerBI treats the stored credentials as bad and resets the authentication method to anonymous.
It would be nice if PowerBI did try to be "smart" and reset the stored authentication method/credentials, then users can just try to refresh the data again later.
