Before configuring the connector, ensure the following are in place:
- Power BI Desktop is installed. Download it from https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/.
- The Hybrid Data Pipeline Power BI connector is installed and the certificate thumbprint is registered. See Installing the Hybrid Data Pipeline Power BI connector.
- An OData-enabled Hybrid Data Pipeline data source and the URI for the data source. See Creating an OData-enabled Hybrid Data Pipeline data source.
- An Identity Provider (IdP) is configured to access the Hybrid Data Pipeline server. See Integrating an OIDC authentication service.
- The OIDC service is registered as an external authentication service with Hybrid Data Pipeline. See Registering the client application with the Hybrid Data Pipeline server.
- An Azure AD app registration exists with a Web redirect URI, and you have a client ID and client secret for the registration. See Register an application in Microsoft Entra ID in the Microsoft documentation.
Attention: Microsoft recommends against using
client secrets in custom connector OAuth flows, as the secret may be exposed via extension
