Hope you are doing great!

I am creating a windows service(.net core) project that will fetch all the reports from Power BI Reporting Server and send emails to the users as per schedules. There will be a link in email to access the report or the report will be already attached (pptx,pdf,doc,txt) in email in whatever format the user has scheduled.

I have used Power Bi Reporting Server API using this reference link: PBIRS | 2.0 | Microsoft-Rs | Swagger

My issue is that this api is accessible directly using windows credentials. I have called the api using CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredntials property inside HttpClientHandler class. But this is not what we are planing in production environment. I want to access these api using a custom authentication so that the user can just click that link which has a token/authenticated and can see or download/view the report. How do i configure my Power BI server to have custom authentication?

Can anyone please help me? Early response is appreciated.

Thank You!

  • not an answer, I just wonder how you achieved automatic export of a `pbix` file into `pptx`, `pdf`, and other formats for `Power BI RS`? I couldn't find a way to do it using their API. – Alex Mar 29 '21 at 09:51
  • @Alex i have not yet achieved that. Well thats what i want to achieve as well. – Rahul Mar 30 '21 at 05:28

I think pbi_rs dose not support token base authentication yet. but there is a solution to customize authentication. Custom Authentication on powerBI RS
