Cross-Domain Power BI Gateway Connection

[antharboot]

Hello,

I have a database and looking to setup a gateway in Domain A. These servers are joined to the AD Domain A, but the gateway has not been registered to the Power BI workspace or Azure tenant associated with Domain A.

We are looking to use an Azure AD Account (either synced or cloud-native) from Domain B to authenticate to the gateway we are spinning up in Domain A to broker a connection to the data sources in Domain A from the Power BI workspace / Tenant in Domain B by authenticating in the setup using the aforementioned Azure AD Account.

Will this be an issue, considering that the servers are actually domain joined to Domain A?

Hi @antharboot 

You need to confirm the following condition:

1.First you need to make sure that in the domain A, your gateway and your data source are on the same server.

2.When configure the gateway, use the account in domain b to log in to the gateway

3.Then add the gateway to the service in domain b.you can refer to the following link.
