I was running into the “PerformancePoint Services could not connect to the specified data source” error when trying to use Dashboard Designer on my local machine against a remote SP 2010 server.<\/p>\n
Combing through the logs I saw that my Root Certificate was not a trusted authority.<\/p>\n
Here are the steps that fixed my issue:<\/p>\n
Run MMC and add the Certificates Snap-In and export your Root Certificate(s).<\/p>\n
1) Go to “Central Administration” and click on “Security”<\/p>\n
2) Under “General Security” click on “Manage trust”<\/p>\n
3) Create a name (e.g. Name: TrustedRoot)<\/p>\n
4) Root certificate for the trust relationship: \u00a0<enter cert provided\u00a0downloaded from \u00a0third-party CA><\/p>\n
5) Click OK<\/p>\n
Hope this helps someone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
