On-premise Power BI Report Server to On-premise SAP HANA SSO / SAML connection
Dears, we have an On-premise Power BI Report Server and On-premise SAP HANA. Would anyone guide to establish a connection with proper SSO / SAML configuration ? Kindly note: we have searched already and most of the links lead to Power BI cloud / service which is not our scenario. Thank you in advance.
SAML SSO from Power BI to HANA on cloud
Hello, In my organization we connected Power BI to a HANA database in cloud (in SAP CP). To achieve this we put in the middle a SAP Cloud Connector (SAP CC). It works perfectly but... We needed to add SSO (using SAML) to propagate the user to the database so we could apply our security privileges on the data for each user. We followed the guide to setup SSO (SAML) from Power BI to HANA but when I we tested a report that uses this configuration it didn't work. Guide: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-gateway-sso-saml In the Power BI Gateway log I see these messages: DM.EnterpriseGateway Error: 0 : 2019-08-27T16:56:40.2205171Z DM.EnterpriseGateway 34362901-f01b-424a-9ae8-0e9510364300 16f95e75-ab83-0fa9-cc75-9f618e20c44e MDSR 16f95e75-ab83-0fa9-cc75-9f618e20c44e b9d649e9-a791-4276-9992-b88d811c90f3 b9d649e9-a791-4276-9992-b88d811c90f3 DDD37E27 [DM.GatewayCore] Error processing request: [0]Microsoft.PowerBI.DataMovement.Pipeline.Diagnostics.SAMLAssertionCertificateCanNotBeFoundException: Can not find SAML assertion certificate. GatewayPipelineErrorCode=DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_SAMLAuthenticationCertificateCanNotBeFound GatewayVersion=3000.5.185 Additionally, I'm using another product similar to Power BI in the same way (SAP Analytics Cloud) and it works perfectly so I don't think it could be a HANA setup problem. Indeed the error says that the SAML Assertion Certificate couldn't be found, but I don't understand what it means as I did exactly what the mentioned guide indicates. In Power BI Service, when I test a report that uses this data source, the error says: Cannot load model Couldn't load the model schema associated with this report. Make sure you have a connection to the server, and try again. Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.

GatewayPipelineErrorCode=DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_SAMLAuthenticationCertificateCanNotBeFound GatewayVersion=3000.5.185 And in Power BI Desktop I don't have any problem to create anything to HANA (but I'm not using this SSO so it's ok). Can you help me to understand what "Can not find SAML assertion certificate" means and how I could solve it? Meanwhile I've created a ticket to the Support team. I will complete this post if a find the solution.SAML SSO for HANA DB
Greetings friends, needing a Microsoft Engineer/employee or general expert to confirm my initial findings: For PBI Server, I was told by Microsoft several weeks back that AD/Kerberos SSO is my only option when using a HANA DB. Does everybody agree ? (My organization really would prefer to use SAML SSO against HANA, but that SAML functionality only exists in the Gateway, to be used with PBI Service) If question #1 is true, then is SAML SSO (against a HANA DB) scheduled to be implemented on the PBI Server development horizon any time soon ? If PBI Server SAML SSO (against a HANA DB) will not be implemented any time soon (or ever) and we use AD/Kerberos, do you know if "keytabs" are used by PBI Server ? Thanks for any and all input !
SAP BW 4 HANA - Power BI Report Server - No Connection
Hi all, trying to connect PBI Report Server to SAP BW 4 HANA (via SAP ODBC Driver). Data is shown in PBI Desktop (RS) but not when saved to the PBI Report Server (both on the same server located). Trying to check the data source (from Report Server) by using a database user gives the error: ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified Anyone with the same problem / any advice to find a solution? Thanks in advance!
