You must edit each connection to trigger encryption with the new key. When you change the key, the process depends on whether you're using the gateway with Power BI or with another service:įor Power BI, credentials for connections that use the gateway are automatically encrypted again with the new key.įor other services, like Power Apps and Power Automate, connections aren't automatically encrypted with the new key. For more information about encryption, go to When working with the on-premises data gateway, how are recovery keys used and where are they stored? in the Power BI security whitepaper. The gateway uses the recovery key to create extra keys that encrypt data source and connection credentials. Starting with the November 2019 version of the on-premises data gateway (version 3000.14.39), you can change the recovery key that you specified during gateway installation.
