This is an issue of displaying the published report on PowerBI report server in Microsoft Edge.

I simply create a powerbi report with the desktop (released in Oct 2017) with Direct query to SQL Server database, then I publish it to the latest release of PowerBI Report Server (Oct, 2017). The database connection string was set as Windows Authentication and I configured the dedicated user name and password on the data source settings on report server portal.

When I use Microsoft Edge the default browser to view the PowerBI report, it first pops up a window asking me to fill user name and password, then I filled my current domain windows user name and password, the report could not be rendered with the error message below:
"Something went wrong

We couldn't run the report because we couldn't connect to its data source. The report or data source might not be configured correctly.
Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.
We couldn't connect to the Analysis Services server. The server forcibly closed the connection. To connect as the user viewing the report, your organization must have configured Kerberos constrained delegation.

Version14.0.600.433"

However, if I open it in IE 11 or Chrome, the report renders perfectly without any windows security window pop-up.

Could you please investigate if this is really an issue of PowerBI report server? Thanks.
