1. Re: Tableau Server: Publishing
Sankarmagesh Rajan Apr 1, 2015 4:06 AM (in response to MGMurthy Murthy)Hi We can use the iframe in our web app and add tableau url.
have used tableau username and passwords in i frame.
If you are passing these in on the query string, you are approaching single sign on in a very insecure way. Doing what you're doing is very, very dangerous and I wouldn't use this technique if you value the security of your data.
Use Trusted Tickets instead. You can read about this mechanism here:

2. Re: Tableau Server: Publishing
Russell Christopher Apr 2, 2015 12:33 AM (in response to MGMurthy Murthy)Hi Murthy -
Users need a license if they use Tableau Server regardless of whether they are presented with a login screen call or not. There really isn't a "free ride" in this regard unless you buy a hardware based license which covers the whole machine vs. a certain number of users.
That said, you can use SAML or Trusted Tickets for SSO. Both of these techniques are documented in our Help files.
Hope this helps!
