This is a bit tricky and needs some customization. Out of the below steps first please do only Logon page change and deploy. In case you dont need custom sign -in that should suffice, in case that dsn't work there are other steps below too :

https://github.com/chunlampang/ms-ssrs-2014-custom-security

Download Custom Security samples for Reporting Services by Microsoft and configure Login page as per requirements. Change app.config app settings to reflect server URL

<applicationSettings>    <Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.CustomSecurity.Properties.Settings>      <!--<setting name="Microsoft_Samples_ReportingServices_CustomSecurity_localhost_ReportingService2015"          serializeAs="String">           

<value>http://servername/ReportsBI/browse/</value>        </setting>-->      <setting name="Database_ConnectionString" serializeAs="String">        <value>Data Source=XXXX;Initial Catalog=UserAccounts;Integrated Security=false;User Id=XXX;Password=XXX;</value>      </setting>    </Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.CustomSecurity.Properties.Settings>

    <add key="ValidationSettings:UnobtrusiveValidationMode" value="None" />

  </applicationSettings>

Compile the project and deploy below dlls at designated Power BI server locations :

\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\PowerBI

Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.CustomSecurity.dll

Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.CustomSecurity.pdb

\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\ReportServer\bin

Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.CustomSecurity.dll

Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.CustomSecurity.pdb

\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\Portal

Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.CustomSecurity.dll

Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.CustomSecurity.pdb

Deploy below additional file to Report Server which you have made as per your requirement :

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\ReportServer

Logon.aspx

Edit below config files for custom logon on Report Server :

\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\ReportServer

rsreportserver,srvpolicy and web.config - these will need below entries
tags for LogonUSer,LogonDOmain and LogonCred

:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\Portal

RSPortal.exe.config

Insert Machine Key  Encryption and Decryption:

<system.web>

    <machineKey validationKey=’XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXD" decryptionKey="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" validation="AES" decryption="AES" />

  </system.web>

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\PowerBI

<system.web>

    <machineKey validationKey=’XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXD" decryptionKey="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" validation="AES" decryption="AES" />

  </system.web>

RSPowerBI.exe.config

Machine key can be generated from IIS/relevant mechanism( lookup on web)

These steps will have the Power BI ReportServer ready with Login :

I am new to Power BI, sorry for some basic questions.
I am using Power BI Report Server 15.0.1111.115 in Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.

I am trying to customize default pop-up login in order to only allow specific Active Directory accounts log in to Power BI.
Is this article conform to what I want to do?
I cannot find app.config mentioned in the beginning either in sample code downloaded or in report server folder.
Where should app.config be in?
