Power BI Embedded authorityUrl is null

I setup the PowerBI-Developer-Samples and configured the AppOwnsData project to run on my computer without issues.

When I published the website to our web server the AuthorityUrl is null.

Looking at the code, the AutorityUrl is set by calling:

private static readonly string AuthorityUrl = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["authorityUrl"];

I checked the web.config files and there is not a setting for authorityUrl (or for resourceUrl or apiUrl).

 

How do these settings get populated?  What would cause them not to populate when run on one machine as opposed to another?

Thanks MAK89.

 

I ended up finding the Cloud.config file while poking around the project files.  All I had to do was include the file in the project and set the "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy always".  This copied the settings into the output folder when I published the project.

You can do this in web.config in <appSettings></appSettings>

 

<appSettings >
     <add key="authorityUrl" value="https://login.windows.net/common/oauth2/authorize/" />
<add key="resourceUrl" value="https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api" />
<add key="apiUrl" value="https://api.powerbi.com/" />
<add key="embedUrlBase" value="https://app.powerbi.com/" /> </appSettings>
