3 TopicsAdd 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 much1.4KViews0likes0CommentsPBIRS Windows Authentication doesn't require AD prefix?
I'm in the process of testing PBIRS as a potential switch from SSRS, and things seem to be going well. One of the shocking things that I've found is that seemingly, PBIRS doesn't require an AD\ prefix for native mode authentication. It just "knows" and I can enter only the username. SSRS has always required that we include the prefix. I'm using the same report server, just a different instance. Is this an actual feature of PBIRS? I've been looking around for some documentation of this difference, but can't find it. I can't tell if it's a fluke or a feature. If it's a feature, it's a really nice change. Remembering AD\ is one of our most common user issues with SSRS. Maybe there's some hidden setting in SSRS that I've just been missing for all of these years. Hopefully, someone can chime in that they see the same behavior and it's not just me and my test accounts. I keep trying to trip it up and it just seems to work fine.Solved1.2KViews0likes1CommentAuthentication Required - Remove this step
Hi, The reporting setup is on-premise and consists of Power BI Report Server, has various types of PBIX files in imported mode and few direct query access and many other. There is AD based authetication provisioned to all the above PBIX reports. There is no SSAS and the PBIX files are linked to SQL Server. Issue : When I try to open the web URL of Power BI I get the popup as attached in the screenshot. I am already logged in into the Computer and still asks for Authentication. When I give the credentials it takes me to the Report Folders and so on and does ask for further authentication to the PBIX files and so on. Is there a possibility that this extra step of Authentication is removed when users have already logged in into the machines?7.4KViews0likes5Comments
