Issue connecting to SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services server from iPad

Hello folks!

As per the documentation given here. I installed a VM for SQL Server 2016 CTP 3.2 in Azure and later tried connecting the same from iPad. But I could not connect successfully (credentials error). It asks for the following details:

Name your server 

Enter server address

Username 

Password

Refer image below from Power BI documentation:

 

 

Can anybody help me out here what can be the different parameters to pass. What I provided was:

-Server name was I provided was any name. For eg. report_testing

-For server address, my VM server name is of the form servername.cloudapp.net. So I provided  servername.cloudapp.net/reports_preview/

- And finally server username and password

 

But I am not successful. Can anybody help me here. 

Note: I am using SQL Server 2016 CTP 3.2 which is in Azure VM

 

Thanks!

      With the latest RC of SQL Server 2016, the "reports_preview" URLs went away.  It's now just server.com/reports.  I discovered this when my connections to SSRS Datasets via Mobile Report Publisher stopped working after an upgrade to the new RC in April 2016. Could that be causing your problems?

        jayeckles I am still struggling with connecting Power BI to SQL Server 2016 from Power BI iPhone App. Rest works fine. If possible can you please let me know what server name, username and password do we need to pass while connecting. I get an error related to invalid server credentials. 

        Thanks !
