This is most likely happening because you are hitting the loopback check.

 

See the following link for information and 2 methods of fixing this (your hosts entry is similar to a CNAME)

Hi , Can anyone help if I want to keep this authentication on for all users. Only added user in security can login on web portal. How can we implement that?

On a command prompt, ping test.local.  If it does not resolve, you need a DNS.  If it does resolve, compare the IP address.  You might need to change the DNS.

thanks, but you can see in the last image power bi reprot server is loaded in test.local. The problem is that it does not login with the username and password.
