Dashboards stopped opening from application

BPNJMC · ‎01-14-2021

I work for an elementary school. We have a few dashboards that users access from a C# application and the application isn't opening the dashboards anymore. No errors. Just a blank page. The application code has not changed, everything worked fine until yesterday. I can still open/view the dashboards in Power BI with no problems (app.powerbi.com).

I was thinking that perhaps the problem might have something to do with authentication, but I have no error to point me in the right direction. I've pasted the code used to authenticate below (written by someone else), just it case that might be it.

I have no idea why the dashboards aren't displaying in our application all the sudden and I'm hoping someone here can point me in the correct direction.

Thanks,

JMC
