This section describes how to edit the DSN configuration and then authenticate and connect to Sage Intacct 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:

1. Select Start > Search, and enter ODBC Data Sources in the Search box.
2. Choose the version of the ODBC Administrator that corresponds to the bitness of your Power BI Desktop installation (32-bit or 64-bit).
3. Select the system data source and click Configure.
4. 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.

Connecting to Sage Intacct

To connect to Web Services, you will first need to enable the Web Services subscription. Navigate to Company > Admin Tab > Subscriptions and enable Web Services.

Intacct also recommends creating a Web Services-only user, which can be done by navigating to Company > Admin Tab and clicking on the + sign beside Web Services users.

You can establish a connection to Sage Intacct using either the embedded credentials or with your own credentials.

Authenticating to Sage Intacct

To authenticate, set CompanyID and set User and Password to the credentials you use to log on to Sage Intacct. In addition, you will need to either set your own SenderID and SenderPassword, or use the embedded credentials in the CData Power BI Connector for Sage Intacct.

BasicReadOnly

The connector has embedded Web Services credentials that are used when reading data from Intacct.

Follow these steps to authenticate:

• AuthScheme: Set this to BasicReadOnly.
• Ensure that you have not specified a SenderID or SenderPassword.
• In your Web Services dashboard, navigate to the Company > Company Info > Security tab.
• Add "CData" to your Web Services authorizations. This is case-sensitive. To do this, navigate to Company > Company Info (Configuration > Company in new UI) > Security > Web Services Authorizations / Edit.

NOTE: The embedded credentials are read-only. Use Basic for read and write access.

Basic

You can use your own Web Services credentials to write data to Intacct. Set the following to authenticate:

• AuthScheme: Set this to Basic.
• SenderID: Set this to the Web Services Sender ID assigned to you by Sage Intacct.
• SenderPassword: Set this to your registered Web Services password.

Okta

The following connection properties are used to connect to Okta:

• AuthScheme: Set this to Okta.
• User: Set this to the Okta user.
• Password: Set this to Okta password for the user.
• SSOLoginURL: Set this to the login url used by the SSO provider.

In addition, set the following SSOProperties:

• IntacctUserID: Set this value to the Intacct User ID that is mapped to the Okta user you set in the User connection property.
• APIToken (optional): Set this to the API Token that the customer created from the Okta organization. It should be used when authenticating a user via a trusted application or proxy that overrides Okta client request context.

The following is an example connection string:

AuthScheme=Okta; SSOLoginURL='https://example.okta.com/home/appType/0bg4ivz6cJRZgCz5d6/46'; User=oktaUserName; Password=oktaPassword; SSOProperties='IntacctUserID=intacct_user';
