Configure the IdP

Before you can use OpenID Connect with Tableau Cloud, you must have an account with an identity provider (IdP) and a project or application with the IdP. When you configure Tableau Cloud, you will need to be able to provide the following information:

  • Client ID. This is the identifier that the IdP assigned to your application.

  • Client secret. This is a token that is used by Tableau to verify the authenticity of the response from the IdP. This value is a secret and should be kept securely.

  • Configuration URL. This is the URL at the provider's site that Tableau Cloud should send authentication requests to.

Redirect URL

Some IdPs will require a redirect URL for Tableau Cloud site.

For example, https://sso.online.tableau.com/public/oidc/login.
