SSRS Authentication Using Active Directory Federation Service
SSRS Authentication using Active Directory Federation Services, ADFS Preview (Android and iOS) – this is a repost from Adam with Microsoft Power BI. Thank you.
If you connect to on-premises SQL Server Reporting Services servers from your mobile device, now you can sign in with your organizational account, thanks to the single sign-on (SSO) capabilities of Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS). With single sign-on, you only have to sign in once with your organizational identity to explore all of your SSRS mobile reports and KPIs. In this preview, you can connect from a mobile device outside your corporate network to an SSRS server hosted on-premises in a Windows Server 2016 environment.
Learn how to configure your environment to support OAuth authentication with the Power BI mobile app in order to connect to Reporting Services 2016 or later.
In the past, the Power BI mobile app only supported basic authentication, over HTTPS, to Reporting Services in order to display Mobile Reports or KPIs. Many organizations do not allow this type of configuration due to security concerns. With an update to the Power BI mobile app, you can now use OAuth to connect to Reporting Services. Windows Server 2016 provides some improvements to the Web Application Proxy role to allow this type of authentication.
Thank you Adam for your detailed post.
