How to auto generate embed token using javascript?
I successfully embed a report into my application using javascript. But I have to update embedded token manually every time. Now I want to call rest API from my code so that token update automatical...
In general, it is insecure to generate embed tokens directly from the client. To do so you would need to pass a highly-priveldged access token back to the browser which is big security risk. Instead, create an server-side API for embed token renewal and have code in the browser call this servier-side API. With this design the application secret for your Azure AD application and the highly-priveldged access tokens all remain on the server and are never passed to the browser. Yes, it is more work but it's the only way to maintain a secure application.
