I'm attempting to connect the Microsoft Graph Security API Connector to Power BI Desktop. Everything seems to work okay until I try to set 'Application' or advanced 'Delegated' authorizations so I can execute GET commands, such as '/security/securityActions', '/security/TiIndictors' and '/security/securityEvents'.
When using the Graph Security API Connector in Power BI, it automatically connects to my Azure tenant as a Service Principle (e.g. Enterprise Application) with an App ID = 'cab163...'. However, this Enterprise Application doesn't have an intuitive way to add additional permissions.
The documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-connect-graph-security only talks about Delegated authorization.
Any guidance would be helpful. I'm sure it's an easy solution - it's seriously eluding me.
Thanks!
To set permissions for Application Only mode, please refer to the Application permissions section.
Your app needs to be consented by an administrator.

For some reasons, our servers cannot connect to the Internet so we have a selfhost AD server to manage users. I wonder if I could use it because the docs only say they support AAD :( Thanks!
It's not possible to self-host AAD.
Except for AAD, OpenPAI provides also basic authentication mode, which you can use without internet access.
As a reference, there are tools like Azure AD Connect that can help to sync your on-prem & cloud auth system.
Is it possible to implement AD Authentication in PowerBI. If yes, how to do AD Authentication for PowerBI.
I need to know the step. And if its not possible, then what are the Alternative for that.
Authentication in Power BI is done using Azure Active Directory (AAD). You can read about it here. There are techniques for sync'ing your AD with AAD.
Here's how to create an App in Azure Active Directory: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn877542.aspx
Here's a starting point for the sync feature I mentioned:

Let's say I have SharePoint Online subscription, hence I can manage own *.onmicrosoft.com domain and users/groups connected with it.
As far as I understand, the storage behind SPO where users and groups reside is an Azure AD.
I had a thought that the only way to manage these users/groups remotely is using PowerShell module for Microsoft Online. And now I wounder whether Azure Graph API can be used for purposes of retrieving users and group members from the SPO? I have no Azure subscription, is there a way to utilize Azure Graph API without Azure subscription, having only SPO subscription?
Ok, turns out it is possible. Briefly steps are the following:
Create a service principal that will serve as 'contact point' with your external application (here is a good start point); I've used symmetric key authorization;
Add a newly created service principal to the 'Company Administrator' role;
Look at the azurecoder's article and check out his comprehensive example of using Graph API: https://github.com/azurecoder/azure-activedirectory; this code correctly deals with authentication parameters, like constructing proper service realm.
After that I was able to grab users, groups and users membership information for SPO instance without creating a Azure AD subscription.
Do anybody know if there is any sort of API available for Cyber-Ark Privileged Identity Management to integrate it with an enterprise applications?
I think the answer might be 50% yes, 50% no. Definitely Cyber-Ark offers web services and an API for their Vault objects, so you should be able to retrieve passwords from the Vault from a trusted application. There is a paragraph of sales information on Cyber-Ark's website:
Cyber-Ark's comprehensive SDK provides an interface to the Vault objects that you can use to develop custom solutions that work with the Vault. Cyber-Ark provides a variety of SDK such as Command Line Interface, ActiveX API, .Net API and Web Services API
But beyond working with their Vault objects, I'm not entirely sure. I'm currently looking for more information on their Vault web services, and I think I need to register to be a Partner to get that information. I'll post a follow-up if I learn anymore.
You are suppose to purchase an API license per server to have read-only access to the vault for authorized applications.
They provide Java, C#, etc. libraries and you place authorization key material on the server to enable it access.
It is called CyberArk Application Identity Manager, an entire sub-product.
The only reference I could find:
http://lp.cyberark.com/rs/cyberarksoftware/images/ds-application-identity-manager-10-20-2014-en.pdf
CyberArk created Conjur. It is open source and free. It contains its own Vault and is intended for dynamic Application Access Management. In particular, Conjur and its upgrade Conjur Enterprise should secure the complete DevOps pipeline. The paid version can be integrated with the Vault solution (the PAS Core solution of CyberArk).
For static applications, CyberArk has the Credential Provider, Central Credential Provider and ASCP (I forgot the full name of it now). These solutions are agent based while Conjur is agentless. Because they are agent based, they are only intended for environments with comparatively slow changes as an agent needs to be installed on every server in order to provide the credentials from the Vault.
These solutions have REST API, CLI and SDK capabilities.
We are looking to host our product on Azure- the intent behind using Azure is that we get to focus on the core product, and are fine with the standard cloud features that Azure offers without needing to understand too much of the internals- not exactly the power users!
One thought was that if Azure had an authentication functionality- profiles, logins, password reset/ reminder etc, it would save us time from building what is essentially a commodity
Any guidance on this?
Azure offers the Access Control Service, which is a Federated Authentication service. It's already preconfigured with support for Live ID, Google and Yahoo authentication, but you can also add your own security token service (such as ADFS).
Windows Azure does not have a built in login feature. However,App Fabric Access Control Service(ACS) does; see the ACS tutorial here for example usage.
