When performing a new installation of Tableau Server an error in the TSM Web UI will occur:
"Identity store configuration error. Check that the configuration is valid."
Last Modified Date: 09 Dec 2022
Environment
- Tableau Server 2021.2 and above
Resolution
Option 1
Temporarily check the box to allow for unencrypted communications with Active Directory.Option 2
Investigate and resolve the failed connection. For Windows review the information in the Tableau Server Help. For Linux, review the information provided here.Cause
Tableau Server requires a secure (encrypted) communication channel to Active Directory.Additional Information
We do not recommend allowing unencrypted communications with Active Directory, as this configuration is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. Should you need to temporarily allow unencrypted communication with Active Directory, you can re-enable enforcement of encrypted communication later by running the tsm command, wgserver.domain.allow_insecure_connection , or by logging into TSM UI and toggling the setting under User Identity & Access > Identity Store.
