Tableau Server Configuration

You will need to allow connections from Confluence to your Tableau Server.

Tsm

...

Step 1: Disable trusted ip checking in Tableau

tsm configuration set -k wgserver.extended_trusted_ip_checking -v false

Step 2: Find your Confluence Server(s) IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1)

Step 3: Replace the following example code with your Confluence Server(s) IP addresses and run the command

tsm configuration set -k wgserver.trusted_hosts -v "192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2" // These IPs are examples, please use the ones from your Confluence Server(s).

Step 4: Run the following commands to finish the tsm setup 

tsm pending-changes apply

Tabadmin

...

Step 1: Find tabadmin in C:\Program Files (x86)\Tableau\Tableau Server\7.0\bin and run the following command 

tabadmin set wg_server.extended_trusted_ip_checking false

Step 2: Find your Confluence Server(s) IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1)

Step 3: Replace the following example code with your Confluence Server(s) IP addresses and run the command

tabadmin set wgserver.trusted_hosts "192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2" // These IPs are examples, please use the ones from your Confluence Server(s).

Step 4: Run the following commands to finish the tabadmin setup 

tabadmin configure
tabadmin restart

Tableau Server behind a Proxy

...

You will also need to tell Tableau Server to trust connections coming to it through a proxy, this will require additional steps:

Step 1: Find the hostnames which your Proxy would report

Step 2: Replace the following example code with your hostnames and run the commands

tsm configuration set -k gateway.trusted_hosts -v "TableauServer, localhost, tableau" // These should be the hostnames which your Proxy would report.
tsm configuration set -k gateway.public.port -v "443"
tsm configuration set -k gateway.trusted -v "127.0.0.1, 10.10.10.11"
tsm configuration set -k gateway.public.host -v "tableau.example.com"

Confluence App Configuration

...

1. Click to Cog drop-down
2. Click on Add-ons
3. Click on Configuration in the Tableau section of the left menu bar
4. Fill out at least one Tableau server URL using the key "prod"
   1. Click Save
5. Add more servers using keys other than "prod" (optional)
   1. You must click save after adding every entry

If you need to provide a domain for your users, you can use the key domain. For example, if your username looks like acmecorp/john, then you would set a key of domain with a value of acmecorp.

Troubleshooting

...

If users are not seeing reports appearing as expected, you can test that trusted authentication is properly working by adding the Key debugusername and then setting the Value to a single debug user which you want to use for testing purposes.
