SmartObject OData API

Trying to use the SmartObject OData API in K2 Five. I configured it but when I try to access it from Excel 2016 as described in this
article https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2five/userguide/5.0/default.htm#How_Tos/ODataFeedService/ODataFeedWithExcel.htm, Excel tells me
that I am not authorized and after three attempts, my Windows account is locked. I looked into the K2 log and there is a message:

 

"5761567","20*personal details removed*:09:58","Error","Communication","8130","ConnectionPacketError","SourceCode.SocketService.Legacy::HandlePacket","8130 Error processing message from 157.23.160.11:58577: Authentication With Server Failed : The user name or password is incorrect","","","VS-FRMV-KZ01:C:Program FilesK2Host ServerBin","5761567","0b0064c4b9d146e3b6b547b47bdbf239",""


I tried under PowerPivot for Excel 2010 using the same account/password and managed to connect by configuring the connection as follows:

However, when I moved to the next screen, the list of tables is empty with the following message:

 

No tables were found in the data source. Check the connection information and login credentials.

 

Any ideas? Thanks.

Are you able to run a browser as this same account and browse to the Odata URL for this SmartObject?  I.e.


https://k2.denallix.com/api/odata/v3/TestSMO


 


Does it also prompt for credential but do not accept it?  If so, perhaps 'Basic Authentication' was not installed on the server similarly to:

Both the Odata and Workflow subsites will need Anonymous and Basic Authentication enabled.

Basic Authentication is not enabled right now. We'll activate it and test again. Thanks for the answer.
