Web URL not working as expected in power bi service, only base url popping but in desktop, fine

n power bi Desktop, desigend URL is working where as Power bi service it is just taking me to base url of the created link

For example.

1. designed url using dax - data type - web URL - https://baseurl-example.com/account/identfier=101

this is working in desktop and go to portal and opens the job but

when i publish this in power bi report server, clicked the link, it is only taking to https://baseurl-example.com to login evertime, even logged in , it is only home page.

Any idea how to resolve this.

Hi,

Thanks for replying. I will try that anyways.

just updating here that it is not related to Power BI, It is the portal issue with authentication ( redirecting to the server)

Hi @suresh_patti ,


1. Try encoding '=' as '%3D':

 

https://baseurl-example.com/account/identfier%3D101

 2. As a diagnostic step, try accessing the full URL directly from a browser while logged into the Power BI Report Server web portal. This can help determine if the issue is with the URL handling within the report or a broader issue with URL redirection on the server.

Best Regards,

The issue here is redirecting to the server from the power bi report service.

Normally links from any where like notes, word , pdf , power bi desktop but not working in Power bi report service.

This is due to the SSO/JWT tokens security implementation and power bi embedded reports where links clicked from the embedded reports need to have a redirect url in the url as my understand it prevents malicious attacks embedded in the urls in the iframe.

I have tried https://baseurl.com/account/redirect.page?url=https://baseurl-example.com/account/identfier=101 from the power bi embedded report it does not work.

Any one faced issues like this and have a solution please.
