Issue
When accessing your site on Tableau Online that is configured with SAML, Tableau Online prompts for a username.
Last Modified Date: 10 Feb 2020
Environment
- Tableau Online
- SAML
Resolution
To workaround the prompt for credentials, create a bookmark or application link that will bypass the Tableau Online login page when using SAML.- After configuring SAML for Tableau Online, copy the URL found under Settings > Authentication in the Assertion Consumer Service URL field.
- The URL should look like: https://sso.online.tableau.com/public/sp/SSO?alias=<alias key>
- Replace the "SSO?" with "login?" i.e. https://sso.online.tableau.com/public/sp/login?alias=<alias key>
- Use the URL link as a bookmark or application link in your IdP portal for accessing applications.
Then, flow should be as follows:
- Navigate to modified ACS URL.
- Redirected to IdP for login (alias defines where to redirect).
- Redirected to Tableau Online, logged in.
