Pass Username/Password on iFrame Embed with Report Server

bheltzel — Wed, 04 Oct 2017 19:55:34 GMT

Can I pass a Username and Password for a system account to my embedded iFrame on my web application? With my current imlpementation, I can only view the iFrame if the app is on my local machine where I am prompted for credentials. When the app is deployed to the server, nothing loads because I am not able to provide credentials.

If it is not possible to pass the paramaters, is there any way in the current offering to embed a Power BI report from Report Server in my web application? Thanks!

Hi bheltzel,

For a Power BI report URL, you can add a query string parameter of ?rs:Embed=true.

http://myserver/reports/powerbi/Sales?rs:embed=true

Once you have your URL, you can create an iFrame within a web page, to host the report.

<iframe width="800" height="600" src="http://myserver/reports/powerbi/Sales?rs:embed=true" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>

Hi Yuliana, thanks for the reply. I actually have completed these steps from the documentation already and they are working as expected. My issue is that the Report Server requires credentials to see the report. How can I pass the credentials in the application so that any user (even ones that don't have access to the report server) can view the report?

Hi bheltzel,

As mentioned in above link,

The user who is connecting to your custom app also needs to have access to the Power BI report on the report server, this is great for internal applications but harder for extranet scenario’s. A solution to this is also on the road map.

Have you been able to figure this out? Or are you waiting on Microsoft for a solution?

I'm trying to do the same thing than you.

Thanks,

Pass encrypted session ID (you can use different mechanism) through js post method call, and authenticate the user in logon.aspx page_load, also you can check the url referr to insure the traffic is coming from your server.
