This section describes how to edit the DSN configuration and then authenticate and connect to Authorize.net 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 Authorize.net

Before you connect, log into your Merchant account and navigate to Account > Settings. Your account Security Settings section displays the LoginID and TransactionKey.

Now set the following to connect:

• LoginID: The API login Id associated with your payment gateway account. (Note: This value is not the same as the login Id that you use to log in to the Merchant Interface.)
• TransactionKey: The transaction key associated with your payment gateway account.
• UseSandbox: Set to false by default, for use with a production account. If you are using a developer test account, set UseSandbox to true.
