Powerbi report server custom authentication adding machineKey

zogamorph — Wed, 22 Nov 2017 14:04:56 GMT

I am trying to implement forms authentication and I am using the Microsoft Reporting Services CustomSecuritySample2016 example. I can get the Report Server url to work however I am have issues with Portal becuase I need to add machineKey setting.

Everytime I add this to the web.config or the applicaiton config the setting is removed causing the example to fail. I have post say that adding to the machine.config. I would like to avoid this becuase this setting would mean that all applications would force to use the same setting. Is there any other way to get this setting set only for Power BI Report Server only?

Regards

Steve

I am trying to implement the Microsoft Reporting Services CustomSecuritySample2016 on my Power BI Report server. I have the explame working fine with the Reporting Server URL however I run into problems with the Portal URL. I get the following error System.Web.HttpException (0x80004005): Unable to validate data. This due to not be able to add the machineKey setting to the portal config as it get removes on a restart.

I have seen a post that say to added it to the machine.config I need to avoid this as this would mean that all applications would be force to use the same this setting on the Windows server. Is there another way be able to get this setting added so that only the Power Bi Report Server will use this setting?

It not working in last release of power bi Version 1.1.6514.9163 (October 2017).

Microsoft developers want put machinekey property to rsreportserver.config

and auto remove machinekey from web.config, Microsoft.ReportingServices.Portal.WebHost.exe.config
https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/sql/reporting-services/extensions/security-extension/how-to-install-custom-security-extensions

But one of developer forget change search of parameter in new place.

Now you can only put it to machine.config and yes you get problem with other apps/
