How to Auto Login Power BI HTML Static Application?

I'm working on a project that involves developing a static HTML application for Power BI, and I need to implement auto-login functionality. I want users to be able to access the application without entering credentials each time, using secure authentication methods.

Is there a way to configure auto-login for a Power BI static application? Any guidance on the best practices or tools to achieve this securely would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Can I use the Power BI JavaScript API to automatically log in to the embedded PowerBI using LDAP (active directory) credentials? I am using the embed code below (Iframe embedding) to avoid the Login button and popup. 

url = "https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId=GUID&autoAuth=true&ctid=GUID"

document.write(
    "<iframe class='hero' title='Power BI Dashboard' id='myiframe'  src='"+ url +"' frameborder='0' allowFullScreen='true'></iframe>"
