By default, the "log on locally" policy is not applied to the Run As service account.
To perform this procedure, you must log onto the Tableau Server computer with the as the Run As service account. Step 1: Add the Run As service account to the Local Administrators group Note: If you are using a distributed installation of Tableau Server, perform the following procedures on the initial server node and on each additional node.
The following procedure describes the steps for the last scenario-a proxy solution without automatic configuration files, where Tableau Server is running on Windows Server. You must also configure localhostĪnd other internal Tableau Server instances as exceptions. So that connections to your proxy server are run under the security context of the Run As User account. For this scenario, you must configure LAN settings on the Windows computer that is running Tableau Server For more information, see Enable Automatic Detection and Configuration of Browser Settings on the Microsoft support site.Ī proxy solution is deployed, but automatic configuration files are not deployed.

Your organization doesn't use a forward proxy solution. The steps for configuring internet options on the Tableau Server computer depend on which of these scenarios describes your enterprise: See Configure OpenID to work with a forward proxy.Ĭonfiguring Tableau Server on Windows to work with a forward proxy If you are running OpenID authentication with a forward proxy solution, additional configurations are required.
Tableau Server doesn't support pass-through or manual proxy authentication. If you use a forward proxy, you must configure the computers that run Tableau Server inside the network to send traffic to the forward proxy. Forward proxies help administrators manage traffic out to the internet for tasks such as load balancing, blocking access to sites, etc. Sends the request to the forward proxy, which in turn forwards the request. When Tableau Server needs access to the internet, it doesn't send the request directly to the internet. To enable communication from Tableau Server to the internet, deploy Tableau Server behind a forward proxy server.
There are many third-party proxy solutions available, so some of the contentīefore you configure a proxy server, see Communicating with the Internet.
The article describes how and when Tableau requires internet access, and describes how to configure your network and Tableau to use forward and reverse proxy servers This article is for IT professionals who are experienced with general networking and gateway proxy solutions.

Instead, communications between your network and the internet should be mediated using proxy servers. Do not set up Tableau Server directly on the internet or in a DMZ. Tableau Server was designed to operate inside a protected internal network. In most enterprises, Tableau Server needs to communicate with the internet.
