Zuar Portals can be configured to use Tableau Server/Online for authentication.
Users who authenticate to Tableau Server/Online with basic authentication (local, Active Directory, or LDAP identity stores) can log into a Zuar Portal with the same credentials (username and password).

https://tableau.zuar.comorhttps://us-east-1.online.tableau.com/). - TABLEAU_SERVER_SITE - This is the site of the Tableau Server/Online.
- TABLEAU_SERVER_USERNAME - (Optional) This is the username of a Tableau Server server administrator account. This is used for Tableau REST API impersonation.
- TABLEAU_SERVER_PASSWORD - (Optional) This is the password of a Tableau Server server administrator account. This is used for Tableau REST API impersonation.
