Summary
This article describes Tableau Personal Access Token Authentication (PAT). Using this Platform authentication type, InfoBurst will authenticate to Tableau Server using a PAT.
Create PAT
The following Tableau article explains how to generate and manage a PAT within Tableau:
https://help.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/security_personal_access_tokens.htm
Restrictions
Tableau does not permit concurrent usage of a single PAT. Concurrent use of a single PAT will cause Tableau to terminate any open concurrent session(s). For this reason, InfoBurst requires that a user provide at least two PATs (one reserved for Platform browsing and one reserved for Burst runtime). A user can provide multiple PATs if required for increased Tableau concurrency.
Tableau expires PATs after one year. Update PATs in Tableau and InfoBurst accordingly.
