What versions of Essbase are supported with the Power BI connector?

[Anonymous]

I'm having trouble establishing connection to Essbase. I have an Excel Add-Ins called Smart View that allows me to connect to my Company's Essbase just fine. The authentication is built into my Active Directory. I'm not sure if I'm using the incorrect URL or authentication but I'm having trouble.

If I use http://[ServerName]/apps/SmartView or http://[ServerName]/apps/XMLA and try to authenticate, sometimes it says "we couldn't authenticate with the credentials provided", other times it says "For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this XML document. To enable DTD processing set the ProhibitDtd property on XmlReaderSettings to false and pass the settings into XmlReader.Create method."

Can you help me troubleshoot?
