CirrusF5 LTM APM SSO with Tableau Trusted Authentication (tickets)
Hi
We are trying to work out out the best way to integrate Tableau Trusted Authentication into F5 APM:
https://tableau.github.io/embedding-playbook/pages/02_auth_and_sso
At the moment we have the F5 APM performing LDAP authentication and want to Tableau Trusted Authentication, that is, the F5 request a ticket after the user is authenticated and pass the ticket into a redicted URL. I've looked at various SSO options on APM but can't seem to find one that fits.
Any assistance?
Cheers
Mick

im looking at the Tableau Trusted Authentication flow
https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/trusted_auth.htm
in what step do you want the APM to get involved?
MickThe APM flow is very simple, Login Page->LDAP Auth->SSO Credentials->Success, after the user has been authenticated by LDAP or after SSO credentials. I need to pass the username to Tableau and receive the token. I looked at using Forms Based SSO but i'm not sure how to capture the token and redirect a new url

i was asking for the Tableau flow and where you want to the APM to act. it seems you first visit a page and then the Tableau flow kicks off. that is different then what you describe, just login to APM and then do Tableau auth on what?
to be honest i don't expect this to work without some scripting (i.e. iRules or iRulesLX) as it is a different SSO method then what is "normal".

yes i was thinking the same, i was trying to avoid iRules, see how we go, thanks
