CNAME for a specific report page
We have an on-prem PowerBI Reporting Service. Business would like to access specific Power BI reports using a user friendly cname/alias rather than long URL , so instead of "HTTP://servername:80/VirtualDirectory/Folder/Report1" they just want to type "report1/".
Is this possible? Afaik, CNAME can only point to an A record, not a complete url like this. Is there a way to create a link?
Thanks in advance.

bahti - Seems like what you want is a DNS URI record:
You could also potentially do it by using a URI redirect on your web server that hosts your Power BI Report Server.

Resolver II
For IIS side it's called "URL Rewrite". Although Power BI Reporting Server uses IIS, there is no management console to configure it. You must manually edit config files. I can't offer a solution, but you can look at the link below to give you an idea of what to look for.
