Hello everyone,
I have a problem that i can't wrap my head around.
I have a powershell script where im calling power bi rest api for exemple to publish reports from local .PBIX etc. All works fine when i authenticate the calls with oauth2/authorize with Redirect URL.
But my powershell script is going to execute inside other scripts in our release, so i cannot get a GUI to login when this is in production. Therefore im going with the Client_ID & Client_Key in Client_Credentials instead.
Here is my authentication code now:
function getToken{
if (-not (Get-Module AzureRm.Profile)){
Import-Module AzureRM.Profile
}
Add-Type -Path "C:\Projects\Publish\packages\Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.3.19.2\lib\net45\Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.Platform.dll"
$AppURI = "https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api"
$Auth = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$Tenant/oauth2/token"
$clientCred = [Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.ClientCredential]::new($ApplicationID, "$ClientSecret")
$AuthContext = New-Object "Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.AuthenticationContext" -ArgumentList $auth
$AuthResult = $authContext.AcquireToken($AppURI, $ClientCred)
return $AuthResult
}I get the Bearer token but i get a 403 (Forbidden) error when i call the API.
What in the world am i not thinking of? permissions for the application?
Have a nice day everyone.
