Access was denied by the external data source

To resolve this problem you need to use the SSID with the secure Store Service because these is an authentication mode used by the web app. I am sure this will help.  All you need to do is the authentication mode which did not cause the issue you are facing now. I have come to this solution when I have the same problem. This must be work. 

Regards,
