AD users password changing causing scheduled refresh fails
Hi, My clients use my Power BI Report Server and setup their domain account on Data sources page in order to retrieve data from shared drives. Once they change their password, the data refresh will fail to work. Do we have any means of Power BI Report Server user settings synchronisation with AD? Thank you

Power BI report shows expired password despite the password working from the source
Suddenly my report started to display this error whenever I tried to refresh it. It's hooked up to an oracle database which is connected to IFS and I use SQL Dev to modify the database. The password is up to date and working in SQL Dev and I can update the view that Power BI is pulling from but the error comes up when refreshing in Power BI. Is their some way to fix this, I have even tried to re-import the data and it comes up with the error as well?

Shared Screen Gateways Password
Hi, In my company the Gateways is managed and setup by IT consultant company (not same company as mine). In one of the gateways setup, I need to enter my credentials via shared screen session/remote session (most of the IT support we have is conducted via remote session). The scenario is the IT support have the Gateways setup in their desktop/screen. Later, he/she share their screen to me and share control with me in order for me to write my credentials in their screen. Everything is working properly with scheduled refresh using the mentioned gateways. The question: Is it safe and secure to enter my credentials like the above scenario? Is it possible that the password I typed via shared screen session being copied by the IT support who setup the gateways? (e.g. Ctrl C and paste somewhere else later). I tried to login to different websites simply for testing the copy paste password. I found that it is not possible to use copy paste as long as the "show password" is not visible. Since I don't have access to manage gateways myself, I couldn't test it myself. Is there any other best practice if the gateways is managed by other contractor (IT consultant company)?
