Embedding – what is it?

Place a view (from Tableau Server) into another Web

context

Embedding interactive views - options

Authentication

+ Three types of authentication:

+ Forms-based

+ Username / password form

.

+ Automatic authentication via Web browser when using Active Directory

authentication.

+ Trusted (special mode for embedding)

+ For doing embedded views with local authentication





Embedding with SSPI

+ Configure for Active Directory and Automatic Login:

+ Browser will automatically log you in







Embedding with trusted authentication

+ Trusted authentication allows embedding a view in a web application:

+ When SSPI is not being used

+ Without asking the user to login to both the web application and Tableau Server

authenticated the user.
