PowerBIEmbedded_AppOwnsData eorr after publishing to IIS
I was able to download the PowerBIEmbedded_AppOwnsData MVC code update the parametes, run it locally and everything worked successfully everytime. However, now I published the solution to our test IIS server and I get the following error:
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: authority
at Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.Authenticator.DetectAuthorityType(String authority)
at Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.Authenticator..ctor(String authority, Boolean validateAuthority)
at PowerBIEmbedded_AppOwnsData.Controllers.HomeController.<EmbedReport>d__9.MoveNext() in C:\Users\[myusername]\Documents\PowerBI-Developer-Samples-master\PowerBI-Developer-Samples-master\App Owns Data\PowerBIEmbedded_AppOwnsData\Controllers\HomeController.cs:line 48
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I also don't see how it has embedded my original file directory.
I was able to solve this problem. All I had to do was move the cloud.config file over to my site and restart the site (or wait a while) and it was working as expected

Hello azulcore,
I'm having the same issue, but I don't understand your solution.
My cloud config is within the web.config file as it is on the sample application.
Could you help me with some guidance here, please?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Marcos, Did you fix the error? If yes, how did you fix it?... I'm also having the same problem, the original solution didn't work to me. Thank you!
Under the pbiPassword key, within the app settings in Web.config, I had to add this:
<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/" />Got that from https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/App-owns-data-Sample-Azure-Problem/td-p/425097
