Tableau Authentication

WAF can be configured to use Tableau Server/Online for authentication.

Tableau APIs

When the WAF is configured with Tableau Server/Online, many of the Tableau APIs become available to authenticated users:

• Tableau JavaScript API
• Tableau REST API
• Tableau Trusted Authentication API

Tableau Configuration

Configuring a Zuar Portal to use Tableau Server/Online is done via the Portal's env file:

• TABLEAU_SERVER_URL - This is the URL of the Tableau Server/Online (e.g. https://tableau.zuar.com or https://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.
