How Connect User from One server to another server for viewing Report

As In our work place we have 2 server 
as in one server has Bi reporting service and the other server has active directory where the groups and users are 
So intially want to connect the other server to first server by the same domain name as it replicate the active directory in first domain 
so other server people where they are added in active directory can see the report using there credentials 
is it possible 
Thanks in Advance

You are on the right way. You don't need kerberos if server and database are on the same machine. You only need kerberos with a double-hop.

I don't know, if I understood your question quite well.

The both servers have to be in the same domain or in trusted domains. BTW I believe this seems to be better asked in a windows administration community.
Kind regards,
Christoph

If They both use same domain would the second server people can  login using the same credentials as they used for first server 
and will user able to see the power bi reports server reports 

Thank you ChrisMuthmann 

Hi, @Prathamesh_29 

Of course, you can access your reports from the Power BI Report server in another example. All you need to do is set it to scale out:
