Power BI Login Loop
Hi,
thanks for the suggestion. I dont believe that this is an on-premise application server issue however. It appears to be an authentication issue between Azure and PowerBI.
Putting the on-premise server aside for the moment, I can't even log into https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/landing/signin/ successfully. When clicking on sign in with my user account I am presented with the Azure login screen "Pick an Account" which prompts me to select my account. When selecting my account it looks like it is going to authenticate and then just returns back to the same "Pick an account" screen.
My account has the Free PowerBI license associated with it in Azure.
If I look at the Azure sign in logs for my account I see the following:
The service principal for resource '{identifier}' is disabled. This indicate that a subscription within the tenant has lapsed, or that the administrator for this tenant has disabled the application, preventing tokens from being issued for it.
This is similar to the errror log from the server when attemting to log in.
I assume that I dont have the required pre-requisites configured within Azure. Is there something addtional required to get this working?
Thanks,
Ben
Further testing indicates that this issue is related to our Azure license / subscription or Azure configuration.
If I log into a the Power BI website using a different Microsoft organization account I am successful and similarly the On Premise Gateway registration is successful. I cant however use this organization account.
Both of the organizations have the Power BI free subscription. The only difference is that the non working organization uses SSO. Could this be the issue? Are there any other requirements?
Thanks,
Ben
