Data Source Connection Properties, Azure SQL question

I have a paginated report that gets data from an Azure SQL Server.

In the SQL code in the Dataset, one column is CURRENT_USER that gets me the AD user email address when running the SQL code outside the report.

 

When uploading the report to a Power BI Workspace the CURRENT_USER column is empty.

 

How do I configure the data source in Power BI report builder without adding user/PW in the data source and use 'ActiveDirectoryIntegrated'. Tried a lot of settings but don't get it to work.

 

Either I have to add a user in the data source or it dont work in the report.

Used 'ActiveDirectoryIntegrated' in Advanced properties.

 

Thanks.

Hi @quantumleaper ,

 

Your issue is more related to azure sql db. I would also suggest you open a thread in azure sql db forum. 

 

As far as I know, you can use ActiveDirectoryIntegrated in connection string :

Use connection string like below:

string ConnectionString = @"Data Source=n9lxnyuzhv.database.windows.net; Authentication=Active Directory Integrated; Initial Catalog=testdb;";
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString);
conn.Open();

 

For more details, please refer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49771761/azure-sql-database-active-directory-integrated-authenti...
