This section describes how to edit the DSN configuration and then authenticate and connect to Presto 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 Presto

Set the Server and Port connection properties to connect, in addition to any authentication properties that may be required.

Securing Presto Connections

To enable TLS/SSL in the connector, set UseSSL to true.

Authenticating to Presto

Presto may be authenticated to by either LDAP or Kerberos. If the Presto server does not have authentication set up, leave AuthScheme set to NONE (default). In order to authenticate with either LDAP or Kerberos, follow the below steps:

LDAP

In order to authenticate with LDAP, set the following connection properties:

• AuthScheme: Set this to LDAP.
• User: The username being authenticated with in LDAP.
• Password: The password associated with the User you are authenticating against LDAP with.

Kerberos

Please see Using Kerberos for details on how to authenticate with Kerberos.
