Power BI Report Server Embedding & Silent Authentication

Question

I am trying to silently authenticate the embeded report like done in Power BI Service. However in Report Server embedding is available through iframe and user is prompted to login with Windows/NTLM account. How can I authenticate silently like done in cloud based approach with a master user ?

Answer 1

So here is how I solved this issue for anyone wondering.

I wrote a reverse proxy to Power BI Reporting Server in my .Net Core application and authenticated each request with BASIC. I needed to enable BASIC authentication and CORS from application URL. (also you may need to add Network Service as content manager/viewer to your report)

Here are some useful links:
