From: faisalakhtar12 on
I am trying to connect to an external data source using excel
services. I have done the following

1) Added the data connection library to the trusted list.
2) Added the document library to the trusted file locations
3) Made sure the data provider for SQL server is installed on all
server in my farm and included it in the trusted data provider list
4) Made sure the ODC file resides in the trusted data connection
library.
5) Made sure the credentails are inside the ODC (less secure I know
but I am just trying to test some capabilities of Excel services) and
specified authentication as "None".I do not have Kerberos enabled and
I don;t believe I need it if the data connection is embedded in the
ODC file.
6) Made sure to allow data connection to be embedded in Excel files as
well as from trusted data connection libraries.


I still cannot connect to the external data

here is the log file
