Troubleshoot Trusted Authentication

This section includes some common issues and errors you might encounter when you're configuring trusted authentication.

A common source for trusted authentication errors are misconfiguration with a proxy server or load balancer. If your Tableau Server operates behind a reverse proxy server or a load balancer, see Configure Tableau Server to work with a reverse proxy server and/or load balancer and Add a Load Balancer.

Trusted authentication information is written to ProgramData\Tableau\Tableau Server\data\tabsvc\logs\vizqlserver\vizql-*.log.

To increase the logging level from info to debug, run the following commands:

tsm configuration set -k vizqlserver.trustedticket.log_level -v debug
tsm pending-changes apply

To test your trusted authentication deployment, see Test Trusted Authentication.
