I think I am loving this functionality i.e. PerformancePoint
Services as every time i tried doing something then always get some new error
message. This time also I got this error while trying to launch the dashboard
designer:
Error message#1: 401 unauthorized
Error message#2: The remote server returned an
error: (401) Unauthorized
How
to reproduce this issue?
1. Open
your business intelligence (BI) site
2. You
will see a button on the home page named as Dashboard Designer
3. Click
on it and BOOM
4. You
will get the above mentioned error message.
Troubleshooting
done:
1. Tried
in Internet explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google chrome but all the giving me
the same error message.
2. I don’t
have a multiple domains so avoiding the possibility of dashboard not recognizing
the credentials
3. There
is no chance of permissions here as I am already having site collection admin
access.
4. ULS
logs and event logs
I have checked the ULS and found the found details:
BrowserSettings browserSettings, String& errorPageUrl)

state)
