    Solution for the exception that is taken for power Bi reports while using custom security extension :
    *****************************************

    The data source attempting to use integrated security which is not supported with custom Auth. If you edit the data source for the report and use stored credentials it should work.

Which login page are you seeing, is it the browser pop-up which prompts for Domain credentials or is it something else? Which Authentication Type is your report server using, I assume windows.?

    Yes you're right.

    Every time I opened the server in IE and will get this window:

    And I need to input windows username and password to login. 

    I want to remove the windows auth page, but I don not want to add a custom login page too. 

    I hope the report on this server allow every one to open and view easily, no need to login at all,

    So how can I do to implement it?

    Thanks.

      Hi wildcatstar, Report Server will require user context for both secuirty and access control needs. That's why you have to setup one Auth method to use the server. However, if you are really sure to remove the auth, there's one workaround that you can implement your own custom auth extension, just return true for each auth request. You can find custom auth example in githut: https://github.com/Microsoft/Reporting-Services/tree/master/CustomSecuritySample

        Hi Anonymous, Thank you very much for your help.

        I followed the step in https://github.com/Microsoft/Reporting-Services/tree/master/CustomSecuritySample .

        I modified the GetUserInfo function like this:

        And at last, I can login in as "Administrator" with out the auth page.

         

        It seems the GetUserInfo method worked.

         

        But when I try to save a report to the Server,I got an error dialog:

        And I find the  error log:

         

         

        I don't know why  GetUserInfo will get a null reference error.

         

        By the way,I didn't  Generate Machine Keys and Configure Passthrough cookies, Because I return true in each request method.

         

        Is there something wrong?
