Tableau Community Forums

by the way we are also on a windows 2012 r2 vm so our setup is similar. Let me know if you have any questions. Follow the documentation for configuring a reverse proxy:

Configuring Proxies for Tableau Server

Here is a pretty good link for IIS Setup- copy and paste it into your url:

Setup IIS with URL Rewrite as a reverse proxy for real world apps

Try taking out the outbound rule to get it to work initially - you can always add it later if you want.

the link works so you don't have to copy just follow it.

Congrats!!

The links above are very good documentation. One is from Microsft for setting up the reverse proxy and the other is Tableau - you set up the site on the Microsoft side( the IIS) - call it what you want - say Tableau and than follow the instructions for the Tableau - setting up a reverse proxy.

The problem I had was the application setting. Let me know if you have a problem and I will be glad to let you know what worked for me. I am working on the last -piece- SAML - I hope to have this working but for me it is taking coordination of different departments/vendors - not the setup.

Hope you got yours to work - we did have some trouble with saml but worked out the issues with Tableau Support and it is working. Did you complete this?  Let me know if you need any help.

Hey Pradeep;

Sure I am having one issue though and that is with desktop upon publishing reverts to the tableau server not the proxy - I am working on it now. All else looks good so far:

Here is a  basic  IIS setup:Proxy setup to get it to work you can add on after success - Basically it is taking anything it receives on this site that is secure and sending it to whatever server you specify in the rewrite rule. create a site to start out make it general like illustration below The site is the upper left the rewrite rule is the tableau server How far have you gotten - sorry I just saw this not - We can talk or communicate via email if that helps also. I set up the iis reverse proxy so can guide you  until publications - hopefully I will have that worked out soon. Follow the configuration links and let me know if you have any questions.

are you responsible to setup the reverse proxy /configure Tableau or both?  Let me know where you are at in the process.

great - Let me know if I can be of help at that time - good luck

sorry it took so long to answer Kevin - we had it working but since the upgrade to 2018.2 I am having issues with a 502.3 error
