SAML Authentication

Hello,

It is possible to setup SAML authentication as custom Authentication on Power BI Report Server? We want to authenticate users on IdAM using SAML, but I did not find any informations whether it is possible. Thank you.

I am also interested in this.  Without SAML support (really Shibboleth) getting support for use is an uphill battle.

You can create your own authentication provider and replace the out of the box one with your implementation.

You can manage the redirect to IDP from within it and then be able to create the user in SSRS programatically as well as the policies (rights) for the incoming user.   Look at this sample for an example.  https://github.com/Microsoft/Reporting-Services/tree/master/CustomSecuritySample

 

Good luck.
