Hi All,
SAP BW (SNC) SSO has been configurated and works fine with Power BI destkop . I am trying to setup SSO between PowerBI gateway and SAP BW system . Getting the below error during refresh

in gateway logs , i can see the message - could not find a suitable sap user for the snc name of the caller .
Please advice
We were able to sort out the issue by adding below two parameter values in gateway config file Microsoft.PowerBI.DataMovement.Pipeline.GatewayCore.dll.config under C:\Program Files\On-premises data gateway
<setting name="ADUserNameReplacementProperty" serializeAs="String">
<value>SamAccountName</value>
</setting>
<setting name="ADUserNameLookupProperty" serializeAs="String">
<value>UserPrincipalname</value>
</setting>
Hi Gilbert, SAP BW SSO has been configured and it works fine with powerBI desktop. Document followed https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/power-bi/connect-data/service-gateway-sso-kerberos-sap-bw-commoncr...

Hi @joeljey
Would it not be that you first need a SAP user with the high enough access to access the SAP BW, after which it would then work with SSO.
