Tableau Trusted Authentication

This library provides a simple wrapper around the HTTP calls required for using Tableau's truated authentication mechanism. You can use the url method of the View class to get a authenticated url to use when redirecting or embedding views.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'tableau_trusted_auth'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install tableau_trusted_auth

Usage

Rails Controller

If you wanted to redirect a user to the Tableau View /views/awesomeworkbook/reallygoodview you could do something like the following:

view = TableauTrustedAuth::View.new 'tableau-server-hostname-or-ip', 'tableau-user-to-authenticate-as'
redirect_to view.url('awesomeworkbook/reallygoodview')

IFrame

In your controller:

view = TableauTrustedAuth::View.new 'tableau-server-hostname-or-ip', 'tableau-user-to-authenticate-as'
@url = view.url('awesomeworkbook/reallygoodview')

In your view:

<iframe src="#{@url}"></iframe>
