I’m trying to incorporate one of my Tableau dashboards into a WordPress page. The dashboard is published on our private servers, hence only visible for certain users, who first have to login to view it.
Is there an easy way/plugin to incorporate these dashboards into a WordPress page, incorporating the login credentials within the HTML code?
I tried stuff like iframe, but for obvious reasons, this only works for public dashboards.
Links or tips would be more than welcome!
You’ll want to look into using what Tableau calls “Trusted Authentication.” There are a few methods they give you to accomplish this, so it will depend mostly on your configuration.
The general idea is that you authenticate once with Tableau server and it returns a ticket that you can use (usually for the duration of the session). With that, you can essentially imitate any user, so if you have user-specific data it will work as though they logged in.
You will need administrator access to your Tableau server to configure this.
Here are the docs for Trusted Authentication:
