Hello,

 

As I understand,  Power Query in Excel does not support OAuth2.0 Authorization code with PKCE  authentication (Single Sign On), using VBA is supported but I have no deep knowledge on that . Any body who has been involved in implementing it  using VBA within Excel?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Hani,

 

Glad to hear from you 😊

There were several good topics previously on this and I think this one will interest you more.

Authentication error when connecting Excel to IFS via OData feed | IFS Community

 

I tested that and seems it’s working. But only problem is you only can get data from one projection.

I have done some research on this and found that using Azure API, you can build a proxy to perform the authentication and then you can directly call IFS projections from Excel or PowerBI. Check my blog post on how to set it up.

Hi again @Hani 

I think I have missed the most important part of your question. Both above mentioned topics discuss to connect using client credential flow, not the authorization code flow with PKCE. Sorry for that.
