ADFS- Deep Link to Dashboard

[catlclaw]

My users using ADFS3 and can do SSO to Office365. To go to Power BI, users has to click Power Bi button at the upper left corner and then redirect to Power BI dash Board. 

How can I create Smart Links/ Deep link URL?  I like to email user the smart link/deep link URL so they can go straight to dash board

Thanks

May I know any solution for ADFS SSO to Power BI? We encountered this problem.

We have sign on to ADFS successfully. Then, paste the Power BI link in the browser, it will prompt to the Power BI

User needs to type the email address again (and no need to type the password), the Power BI reports will be shown then. 

Any advice?

When you share a dashboard or report, there is an option to send an email notification with that share action. This would include a link directly to the dashboard or report in question.

Yes, we can send the dashboard URL in email but user needs to enter email address before it can redirect back to IDP. I want to have same SSO when user opened the link from email.

here is SSO URL 

https://login.microsoftonline.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&whr=adfs.XXX.com

If I have already authenticated for O365 in a browser, I do not have to re-enter my credentials when navigating directly to a dashboard URL.

True. It works if user already login to Office365. My gold here is how to generate Smart link so eliminate the login to O365 id users is not log in

Have you tried the following?  I noticed the parameter listed in this doc is different from your SSO url.

Using smart links or IdP initiated authentication with Office 365

Also, i know when i setup ADFS in my own environment, It allowed for pass through if i was in my local network. I had to enable Windows Auth on the ADFS server though, as it was disabled by default.  If I was outside of my network, I was presented with the forms auth login page. This worked for Power BI without having to deal with a smart link. I'm not sure exactly what your environment is.

I just need to clarify, SSO works for user on local network. Outside network user has to authenticate to ADFS Proxy. The issue here is if I share the dashboard, user open the link in email they have to log in to O365 first. This is because the link in email does not use WHR which tell O365 who's the tenant is. Once user enter email address at O365 login it is redirrect correctly to my ADFS.

I noticed, after user SSO to O365, click Power BI button will redirect user to this 

https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize?client_id=871c010f-5e61-4fb1-83ac-98610a7e...

Is this Power BI usinf Oauth2 as another federated system from O365 to Power BI?

Thanks
