Certificate issue when connecting a PostgreSQL database to an On-Premise Enterprise Gateway

Hi all, 

 

I've been having trouble connecting to PostgreSQL using the On-Premise Enterprise Gateway without ODBC. On the same machine as the gateway, I have installed Power BI and connected to the PostgreSQL database without any issues (thanks to the instructions here:https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/Connecting-to-PostgresSQL-hosted-on-AWS...), but when setting up a new data source for the gateway I encounter the following error:   

 

Unable to connect: We encountered an error while trying to connect to data-warehouse-dev.csgxzpfrma4x.eu-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com. Details: "We could not register this data source for all gateway instances within this cluster. Please find more details below about specific errors for each gateway instance."Hide details

Has anyone else successfully connected an On-Premise Enterprise Gateway to a PostgreSQL source without ODBC? Any suggestions for overcoming this error would be very welcome!

Okay - solved this 

The issue was that I had only installed the certificates in the local account on the Enterprise Gateway server, and not on the Computer account. This is an option you have to select when adding the certificates snap-in in mmc.

@nathanh,

Do you use the latest version of Power BI Desktop(2.55.5010.521) and latest version of gateway?

Hi Lydia,

 

any idea for my problem?

I think would solve most of the certificate issues with Postres.

I have the same problem with a PostgreSQL instance on Compose (IBM Cloud).

 

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/Connecting-to-PostgresSQL-hosted-on-AWS...

 

I cannot get a certificate with the full hostname (already talked to IBM).

Is there any option to disable the certificate check? (e.g. via regedit)

 

Best
