Resolution
- If your data is hosted on-premises or in the private cloud, use Tableau Bridge. Tableau Bridge is a separate, free application that you install on a computer that has access to your data. Bridge will run the refresh locally and then push the new extract up to Tableau Cloud.
Note: Tableau Bridge can only be used against individually published data sources, and it can't be used against data sources embedded in a workbook. To refresh data sources using Bridge, republish the workbook with data sources published separately. For more information, see Set Up a Bridge Refresh Schedule.

2. When you connect to the data source and publish it, use username/password authentication, not Windows Authentication. Because Tableau Cloud doesn't have access to your network or Active Directory, it cannot authenticate with Windows Authentication, and must instead use username/password.
