Hello, Version : PowerBI Report Server January 2022 Can NTLM and Basic Auth coexist ? My organization is using the NTLM authentification. However, I need to connect to my report also using the Basic Auth. So I followed the following procedure My config file of my report server look like : <Authentication> <AuthenticationTypes> <RSWindowsNTLM /> <RSWindowsBasic/> </AuthenticationTypes> <EnableAuthPersistence>true</EnableAuthPersistence> <RSWindowsExtendedProtectionLevel>Off</RSWindowsExtendedProtectionLevel> <RSWindowsExtendedProtectionScenario>Any</RSWindowsExtendedProtectionScenario> </Authentication> I restarted my Report Server and tried to connect to my report url using postman. When I used the NTLM Authentification, it worked (Request had a 200 status response). But when I used the Basic Authentificationm it didn't worked (Request had a 401 status response) : Similar to 403 Forbidden, but specifically for use when authentication is possible but has failed or not yet been provided. The response must include a WWW-Authenticate header field containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource. This is why I ask if NTLM and Basic Auth can coexist. What am I doing wrong ? Have a nice day. Thanks by advance.Solved8.6KViews0likes3CommentsAdd users in basic authentication
Hello, I installed my evaluate version of Power BI Report Server on a virtual machine, then I log in with admin account and upload reports where I have roles. I need to provide access to users outside my domain, so I want to use basic authentication (it's the best way, isn't it?) defining usernames and passwords. I changed the RSReportServer.config file as explained at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/security/configure-basic-authentication-on-the-report-server?view=sql-server-2017#main but now I don't know how to create new credentials and the only way I am able to connect is with my admin account. I read many things about security and roles assignment but I have no user to associate to one of my roles. Please help me. Thank you so much1.4KViews0likes0CommentsLoad Balance, Scaled Out, Basic Authentication, local user access
We are running the January 2019 with the latest March patch of PBIRS. I have SSL going and it is working great, thank you very much for the patch. Now I need to implement basic authentication, but PBIRS keep rejecting my local user. Is there a way to do LOCAL\<user>? I can't seem to get it to take that. When I type myServer1\User1, it will initially save and then disappear. Same goes for myServer2\User1. The general idea is to have a local user on both nodes, because we cannot predict which node will be given the work by the load balancer. We need basic authentication, so that it can be hit from the DMZ. Thanks for the help!588Views0likes0Comments
