Manage security and RLS with custom authentication
Hello everybody, I am a bit new in Power BI Report Server. I installed my evaluation trial and configured with reports and Windows users fine. Then I needed to use custom authentication, so I tried to get it as explained in https://github.com/Microsoft/Reporting-Services/tree/master/CustomSecuritySample#start-of-content and in the end it worked fine. I created clicking on "Register new user" of login window, then I added it in Security element in RSReportServer.config file (step 3 of the article) and finally I could login. When I am in the Report Server, I see reports, I can manage security on first page and choosing Element roles and System roles, but a lot of things are not working as it always tells me "An error occurred. Try later": I can't open the Menu of any report, where I could manage RLS, updates, title and so on clicking on right-upper corner I can't open any report I can manage Element and Security roles but they look not to work as I gave me Content Manager and System Administrator but I can't edit anything about reports. I don't see previous domain users anymore but maybe it's normal, but I need to configure many users and giving them permissions about folders and reports but it doesn't work. Some particular aspects which could be useful: In Report Server Configuration Manager, as Service Account I use a domain account of my server which I used before to login to Report Server too, maybe I should change? I don't know but I don't think In step 4 of the article to configure custom authentication you need to generate machine key with Validation="AES" but when I generated it with my server I got Validation="HMACSHA256" Please help me because I really need to configure it in the right way, it's very important to me. Thanks a lot Nick
Add 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 much
