Publish to Tableau Server tool log in error

Hi,

I hope someone can help regarding the error I encounter when I used the "Publish to Tableau Server" tool.

I don't know if this tool accepts SSO log in credentials as I am using one.

If not, what is the correct authentication method to used for this tool?

Do I need to contact our Tableau Admin to give my username a special access in publishing to the Tableau Server using a SSO?

Below is the log in error I encountered and the sample credentials. Please let me know if entered the format correctly in each credentials.

Many Thanks!

Hi @Mwatts23, I am very much not an expert at this tool, but I do use it and we also use SSO. I log in to our Tableau Server just like you've done here. The only thing that I can see different is that you haven't specified a site; is it possible that your user doesn't have permission for the default site? I always specify a site and I don't have any issues, so I thought it was worth mentioning.

Hi Allison,

Thank you for your reply. Do I need to enter the whole URL of the site? or just the site name? I hope you can give an example.

Best,

Michael

For me, it's just the site name part. Using fake info, if your Tableau Server URL looks like "https://analytics.mysite.com/#/site/mainsite/home" the tool config would look like:
