Power Platform CLI Doesn't Connect to Dataverse

Posted on by 3

Hello!

 

I was trying to download my power portal website using the CLI, however whenever I run any pac commands, I get an error stating "Failed to Connect to Dataverse". I have logged into Visual Studio and checked my credentials, what else could be causing this issue?

    Hi @ray_rashid ,

     

    I would suggest running `pac auth list` to very which authentication profiles you already have. Then ensure you have selected the intended authentication profile corresponding to the correct environment using `pac auth select`. If there's no authentication profile available corresponding to the intended environment, then create one using `pac auth create`

    Thank you for your response, I have three profiles. After selecting each profile, all of them give the same error.

    @ray_rashid What credentials do each of your auth profiles use? Have you confirmed you're able to log in to the application UI using the same credentials? Just to rule out any account/privilege issues

     

    Are you using PAC CLI with VS Code or in a command prompt? Try checking for the log files in %localappdata%\Microsoft\PowerAppsCLI\Microsoft.PowerApps.CLI.X.X.X\tools\logs
