Due to various operational constraints, our Power BI Report Server (PBIRS) has to be deployed in a non-domain environment. The Windows authentication mechanism in PBIRS has proven to be very cumbersome. Specifically, when the webpage loads, the call to the `api/v2.0/me` endpoint consistently takes 6-7 seconds to complete, which severely degrades the user experience. Additionally, we've encountered a critical issue: Power BI Desktop and the Power BI mobile app are unable to connect to the report server via the REST API when Custom Authentication is enabled. This has been a long-standing problem that has significantly impacted our daily workflow. We sincerely hope the official team can prioritize and optimize this as soon as possible. It would be greatly appreciated if compatibility with Power BI Desktop and the Power BI app under Custom Authentication could be added in a future update. Without this improvement, our daily work will remain very inconvenient, which is truly disappointing. Looking forward to your timely updates.
