Integration of Power BI Mobile App with On-Premises Server

[AvinashPentyala]

Hi everyone,

Could you please provide guidance on how to integrate the Power BI mobile app with an on-premises server? Our users are coming from LDAP, not Azure AD.

I’ve reviewed the link below, but I'm unclear on how to register for the MDM tool. Could you please share more details?

Additionally, is there a way to integrate without using MDM tools?

Thank you!

Hi, @AvinashPentyala 

If you don't want to use MDM tools, you can configure Web Application Proxy (WAP) and Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) to enable secure access. This setting allows access to the Power BI mobile app using OAuth authentication. Also ensure that the DNS is properly configured to point to the public IP address of the WAP server. This will allow the Power BI mobile app to connect to an on-premises server. You can check the following link:
