Custom connector authentication

[luisat]

Hi everyone,

after writing my custom connector i want to test it in Power Bi Desktop. The connector pulls some data via Web.Content via an api.

The connector uses Implicit as authentification. So if i run it in Visual Studio and set annonymus as credentials it works just fine.

Now i if i want to load it in Power Bi i always run into this:

The same code loads just fine in Visual Studio. While developing the connector i tested it and it worked there...

My privancy level settings are:

Is there any way to manually add the connector to the data source settings?

What am i doing wrong?

Regards,

Luis

Hi Luis,

I think that your problem is that you are not passing the URL on Data Source Path. When you do that, your URL apears on the label of the authetication page.  Like the below image on GitHub Exemple. 

So, to know more about Data Source Path you can view this pages and the Github exemple on Github (rs!)

Data Source Path:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/handlingauthentication#data-source-paths

URL data source path:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/handlingauthentication#functions-with-an-uri-parameter
