Creating the Data Source Name
This section describes how to edit the DSN configuration and then authenticate and connect to AdobeCommerce APIs.
DSN Configuration
You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to edit the DSN configuration. Note that the installation process creates a both a user DSN and a system DSN, as described in Installing the Connector.
Note: The connector stores connection information in the Windows registry. To ensure that the connector can write to the registry, either run Power BI as an administrator or use a User DSN for your connection instead of a System DSN.
User DSN
Complete the following steps to edit the DSN configuration:
- Select Start > Search, and enter ODBC Data Sources in the Search box.
- Choose the version of the ODBC Administrator that corresponds to the bitness of your Power BI Desktop installation (32-bit or 64-bit).
- Select the system data source and click Configure.
- Edit the information on the Connection tab and click OK.
System DSN
Configure the system DSN the same way as the user DSN, except you will need to switch to the System DSN tab before performing Step 3.
If you're using Power BI's On-Premises Data Gateway with Standard mode, you must use the system DSN.
You must also specify a valid location for OAuthSettingsLocation (a path where OAuth credentials are locally stored to avoid repeated OAuth prompts).
This is because the Standard mode runs on service mode and can only access permitted locations, such as C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\PBIEgwService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\On-premises data gateway.
Connecting to AdobeCommerce
To connect, set the URL; for example, http://yoursitename/magento2, and optionally provide the StoreCode of the store you are connecting to, if more than one are present.
Authenticating to AdobeCommerce
To authenticate to AdobeCommerce server versions, you can use either the Basic or the Token AuthScheme.Basic
- AuthScheme Set this to Basic.
- User Set this to your user name in AdobeCommerce.
- Password Set this to your password in AdobeCommerce.
Access Token
- AuthScheme Set this to Token.
- AccessToken Set this to your AccessToken in AdobeCommerce.
To generate the AccessToken, Log in to the AdobeCommerce Stores > Settings > Configuration > Services > OAuth > Access Token.
