Headshot of article author Nikki Waghani

Here is the March 2024 release of the on-premises data gateway (version 3000.214.8).

Power BI Desktop Compatibility

This update brings the on-premises data gateway up to date with the March 2024 release of Power BI Desktop.

This version of the gateway will ensure that the reports that you publish to the Power BI Service and refresh via the gateway will go through the same query execution logic/run-time as in the March version of Power BI Desktop.

Azure Service Principal (SPN) support for on-premises and VNET data gateways

You can now authenticate your on-premises and VNET data gateway connections using SPNs. Learn more about SPN in Data Factory.

Azure service principal (SPN) is a security identity that’s application based and can be assigned permissions to access your data sources. Service principals are used to safely connect to data, without a user identity.

Within Microsoft Fabric, service principal authentication is supported in Semantic Models, dataflows (both Dataflow Gen1 and Dataflow Gen2), and Datamarts.
