Ah – ‘Setting up PowerBI Report Server SPN’s for PowerBI and SQL to help securely communicate and authenticate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

‘Setting up PowerBI Report Server SPN’ in hybrid environments when the PowerBI cloud service is not <yet> an option in an organization.\u00a0 This article will go through SPN commands, to secure via Kerberos authentication and\/or smart card usage for Security requirements (i.e. STIG, CCRI, SOX, HIPAA, PCI, Security Scans, <insert other regulatory requirements here>).\u00a0 Lastly, PowerBI Report Server can be setup to run parallel to SSRS SQL instance.\u00a0 Refer to SPN commands below which helped me setup SmartCards authentication based on SPN setup.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Find\/replace<\/h4>\n

DOMAIN<\/p>\n

POWERBIREPORTSERVER<\/p>\n

FQDN<\/p>\n

svc.PowerBI.scomda<\/p>\n

SPN commands to set up SQL & PowerBI<\/h4>\n

Create SPN for PowerBI Report Server<\/strong><\/p>\n

# RE: PBIRS SPN’s
\nSetSPN -s “MSSQLSvc\/POWERBIREPORTSERVER.FQDN” “DOMAIN\\svc.PowerBI.scomda”
\nSetSPN -s “MSSQLSvc\/POWERBIREPORTSERVER” “DOMAIN\\svc.PowerBI.scomda”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Create PowerBi Report Server SPN’s for OLAP<\/strong><\/p>\n

# PBIRS & MSSQL
\n# Remove the SPN’s for SQL on Report Server
\nsetspn -d MSOLAPSvc.3\/POWERBIREPORTSERVER POWERBIREPORTSERVER
\nsetspn -d MSOLAPSvc.3\/POWERBIREPORTSERVER.FQDN POWERBIREPORTSERVER<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Create PowerBI Report Server SPN for service\/gMSA account<\/strong><\/p>\n

setspn -d HTTP\/POWERBIREPORTSERVER.FQDN:443 DOMAIN\\svc.PowerBI.scomdr
\nsetspn -d HTTP\/POWERBIREPORTSERVER:443 DOMAIN\\svc.PowerBI.scomdr<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Create SQL SPN’s for SSRS reporting<\/strong><\/p>\n

SetSPN -s “MSSQLSvc\/POWERBIREPORTSERVER.FQDN” “DOMAIN\\svc.PowerBI.scomda”
\nSetSPN -s “MSSQLSvc\/POWERBIREPORTSERVER” “DOMAIN\\svc.PowerBI.scomda”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Create SQL HTTP SPN’s for SSRS reporting<\/strong><\/p>\n

setspn -s HTTP\/reports.FQDN DOMAIN\\svc.PowerBI.scomdr
\nsetspn -s HTTP\/reports DOMAIN\\svc.PowerBI.scomdr<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lastly, test authentications to PowerBI server…<\/p>\n

Verify PBIRS (PowerBI Report Server) log file for ReportServerService_HTTP_ entries after successful auth<\/p>\n

File PATH = D:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\\PBIRS\\LogFiles<\/p>\n
