    Power BI Report Server (PBIRS) doesn't natively support Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication.

    Here are some alternative solutions:

    1. Windows Authentication and ADFS Integration. PBIRS primarily supports Windows Authentication (NTLM/Kerberos) and can integrate with Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS). If your organization uses ADFS, you can configure claims-based authentication with ADFS, but this requires complex setup and is different from integrating directly with Azure AD.

    If Azure AD integration is a must-have for your organization, consider migrating your reports to the Power BI service. The Power BI service fully supports Azure AD, including features such as single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and conditional access policies.

    You can find the verification methods I mentioned above from the following documents:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/security/authentication-with-the-report-server?view=sql-server-ver15

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/app-proxy/application-proxy-configure-hard-coded-link-translation

    Please note that these are workarounds. If we proceed with custom development, we will need deep expertise in PBIRS and .NET development
