There is an example generic HTTP connector config for Tableau

[izgeri]

Use case

I am a developer building an app that needs to connect to Tableau

Additional details

Instructions for HTTP Authorization can be found here. The Tableau API takes a header of X-Tableau-Auth.

A free trial account of Tableau Online can be found here.

In order to get the necessary credentials for the X-Tableu-Auth token, a request can be made via Postman with the following content:
URL: https://tableau-url/api/3.4/auth/signin
Body Parameters:
If your website is https://us-west-2b.online.tableau.com/#/site/secretlesstest/home, then the contentUrl below would be secretlesstest.

<tsRequest>
	<credentials name="<your-email>" password="<your-password>">
		<site contentUrl="<site-name>" />
	</credentials>
</tsRequest>

This should also return a site-id and a user-id.

A developer should then be able to test that Secretless is working by making a request to some of Tableau's API methods.

Acceptance criteria

• There is a generic HTTP connector config available in the example generic HTTP connector configs for connecting to Tableau via Secretless
