Proxy Admin option

[RickyDiazTech]

For which extension would you like to add a feature request? Power BI Build Tools

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am trying to implement an Azure DevOps solution for Power BI within a large company that has very tight security. We are told to use a specific proxy for all DevOps agents which can be set within the agent. However, when using pre-imported extensions this proxy config is bypassed which results in no connection to the Power BI Service.

Describe the solution you'd like Add parameter to each task to allow the end-user to enter their own proxy settings.

Describe alternatives you've considered After extension has been downloaded, I have manually updated the run.ps1 file top include the following code to set the proxy.

$proxyString = "http://proxy.azure:1234" $proxyUri = new-object System.Uri($proxyString) [System.Net.WebRequest]::DefaultWebProxy = new-object System.Net.WebProxy ($proxyUri, $true)

@RickyDiazTech so you are using your own agents?

If so you need to configure a system wide proxy.

Hmmm, I thought I had done that using netsh winhttp set proxy "http://proxy.azure:9999" on the VM but it was still ignored.

Yes that should be correct for the current user I think. It should be enabled for the user that is running the tasks itself.
