Can't connect to Power BI Report Server from mobile app

Hi,

 

This question might have been asked before, but I can't find anyone with the exact same problem as I have.

 

I have instaled the Power BI Report Server (October 2017), on our internal servers. Kerberos has been configured and is working. Azure AD app proxy has also been configured.

 

I can access the report server now from a browser on a PC, iPad and iPhone. both when I'm connected to the internal wifi and if I'm on cellular connection. 

If I try to connect from the Power BI app I get a message tellig me to check if the server is a SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services and that the Server address is not valid.

I used the exact same address as in the browser (also tried http, https, with/without /reports, etc).

 

Anyone experienced this?

Hi Nicolajb,

 

Power BI mobile apps do not support AAD authentication with Power BI Report Server.

We do suports ADFS using Web application proxy as detailed in this document - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/mobile-oauth-ssrs

 

Thanks,

Gabi

 

 

Hi Gabi,

 

Thanx for prompt answer!

I'm wondering where this leaves us. Will the Power BI App eventuallu work with AAD or do we have to change it all to ADFS?

Hi,

 

We do not have a concrete plan to support AAD at the moment.

If this is critical for you, please open an idea in the mobile ideas page so we will be able to change priorities according to the interest shown by additional customers.

 

Thanks,

Gabi
