How to config proxy to enable Power BI Report Server for accessing cloud datasets -MS Project Online
Friends, I am preparing a dashboard for MS Project Online data which I believe a cloud datasource. Successfully completed creating the dashboard but unable to refresh the report from Power BI On-Premise Report Server since internet connection is not allowed in our Power BI Prod server.
- Error Message: OData: Request failed: Unable to connect to the remote server
- Contacted my server team - They said that they cannot configure system wide proxy due to security issues and they are asking if we can setup proxy for this specific application - Power BI Report Server?
- May I know the right approach to setup proxy or to connect to cloud datasources from PBI On-Prem report server.
Kindly help....
Hi BI_Analyticz,
You should try to set the Proxy settings directly in the user on the virtual machine, which runs the Power BI Report Server Configuration Manager. The user you set as Service Account should connect to the Server and set your Proxy Settings in Settings --> Network & Internet --> Proxy.
After you log out, restart the Server.
Then the Report Server should get access to through the Proxy.
If you use the virtual account as Service Account, create an User-Account which you may use.
Good luck and kind regards! 🙂
