I am following the Power BI embed guide: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embed-sample-for-customers?tabs=net-cor..., using “Service Principle” for authentication. I see issues already:
Validation #1:
I download a nodejs sample code that is used to validate the embed.
} else if (config.authenticationMode.toLowerCase() === "serviceprincipal") {
authorityUrl = authorityUrl.replace("common", config.tenantId);
let context = new AuthenticationContext(authorityUrl);
return new Promise(
(resolve, reject) => {
context.acquireTokenWithClientCredentials(
config.scope,
config.clientId,
config.clientSecret,
function (err, tokenResponse) {
// Function returns error object in tokenResponse
// Invalid Username will return empty tokenResponse, thus err is used
if (err) {
reject(tokenResponse == null ? err : tokenResponse);
}
console.log(tokenResponse);
resolve(tokenResponse);
})
}
);
}
So far, I can see the “access token” is back, but while using that access token with Power BI REST API - Get Reports In Group, then I see an Error – Unauthorized.
Validation #2
If I test the REST API using: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/reports/getreportsingroup , then I can see the response coming back correctly.
Then, I noticed that the access token is different in term of what I get from nodejs code vs. the one in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/reports/getreportsingroup.
So I hard code the access token from Validation #2 into the nodejs code, then I can see the report I created in Power BI in testing web page, which is what I am looking for.
Now the question is why the access token I got from nodejs api is not working? Did I miss something? 😊
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Yong
