Login to your Tableau account and go to Settings -> Connected Apps.
Create a new Connected App with 'Direct Trust'.
Enter your preferred name (so you can tell which one is which) and the project(s) you want to display. Click Create.
Click 'Generate New Secret'.
From the three dots at the end of your app's title, 'Enable' the app.
Copy the Client ID, Secret ID and Secret Value.
Paste these values in our Tableau (JWT) app, along with your accounts Username/email.
Tableau JWT Error Handling & On-Premise Limitations
Tableau JWT now includes error handling, allowing you to immediately verify whether the credentials you enter in the authentication modal are valid.
Keep in mind the following limitations:
- Error handling works only with publicly accessible Tableau Cloud URLs.
- If you use a Tableau on-premise URL, the system cannot validate your credentials because the URL is not publicly accessible. In this case, you can select Continue without authentication and save your Tableau app without confirming whether it will function properly.
Additionally, when you use a Tableau on-premise URL, your Yodeck Player must have network access to that URL. This means the Player must be connected to either the same local network or to a VPN that provides access to the Tableau server.
