Hi,
We have our on premise Tableau deployed behind a proxy. The data source the dashboards connect to is also behind a proxy within the same internal network. When dashboards are created on the desktop client then the external connection string used is different from the internal name once the dashboard is committed to the server. As this is a common setup in enterprises how do we setup an automatic conversion of that connection string on publishing the dashboard to the server?
i.e Clients use www.tableau10database.company.plc
server uses internaldatabase.company.plc
Thanks
Hi Jarrod,
My suggestion (though its not great) is to add an entry to the Tableau Server's HOSTS file so that this is used by the server for the name resolution.
If you open the Hosts file (in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc and add the following entry
Tableau10database.company.plc aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
Where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the IP address that you use for internaldatabase.company.plc
This means that when the server looks up the address for Tableau10database, it will receive the IP Address for the internaldatabase
and point to it.
Hope this makes sense (and works for you)
All the best
Glen
