Allow Embedding of Power BI Report Server Reports for Extranet Apps. Because of our clients needs data cannot leave our servers and be put on the cloud. Our existing SSRS reports are displayed using a report viewer object, however this will not work for PBIX. We need to ability to embed PBIX and display it externally. Is this going to be possible with Power BI report Server?

Wanted to post an update to one of the pieces called out for this item - In a future update for the product, we're planning to do work to introduce support for ADFS/AAD in Power BI Report Server, and at the same time do work to enable your app to override user authentication in a secure way.

Just an update for anyone that reads these comments. Go here, fast forward to 43:00 minutes and listen to Chris. Seems to say the release for Modern Auth will be in Jan.. could have heard that wrong.

I second the comment below. A solution for embedding power bi reports in an external web application from power bi report server would be an almighty selling point for this software solution

RE: Embed Power BI Report Server reports into extranet apps

Any Updates? We have a external web application that we want to embedded power bi reports into and want to use the existing application login and have the reports secure so customers cant see each others data. I currently have something working with Power BI Embedded but we already have a Power Bi Report Server the BI Team is using and we also have Sensitive data we dont want to store in "THe Cloud" lol. Is there a Application Owns data model for the reporting server yet, like power bi embedded?

'@ChrisFinlan

With the recent announcement of the new PowerBI release schedule, do you have a timeline on when ADFS/AAD might be implemented? Do you think it will be in the January Release? I'm guessing not based on the release notes found here - https://dynamics.microsoft.com/en-us/business-applications/release/

Is this the place where we'd see ADFS/AAD planned for Report Server? We are planning to build out a fairly large deployment and this feature would help from an end user experience

'@John Fields, how did you do this. I have configured custom authentication and copied the url and embed it in our application. But when I login with a report server configured user in my application and when I access the page, I get the custom authentication login page. Any suggestions would really helpful.

'@Chris - anxiously awaiting this! This is huge for us because we have an enterprise application in which we embed SSRS reports using the ReportViewer control, which allows us to "override user authentication in a secure way", and we'd like to do something similar with PowerBI Reports.

Any chance we know when this is going to happen?

Ideally, it would be something similar to the SSRS reportviewer solution so that all powerbi to web front end access is done on the backend and rendered to the client.
