What's even the purpose of the file from the Tableau side of things? I didn't know it existed so this is a neat find

Thanks Jeffrey,
This is being used as part of a solution to login to Tableau, as mentioned here:

I see, this solution may have been replaced with the more documented and newer REST API. See the signing in sections under concepts and API reference section.

Hi John,
You would not be able to use auth.xml directly in newer version. Please modify your application to use REST for authentication. Tableau 9.x has good support and features in REST.

6. Re: Tableau Server 9.1 - auth.xml removed?
Thanks for the feedback every6one, I appreciate it. Ultimately, I need to retrieve the https://<server>/admin/systeminfo.xml page, to get service status. I'm not sure how to do that with the REST API after logging in. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

You can enable accessing the system status via the systeminfo.xml without logging in if you whitelist the calling IP's. We have done this for Enterprise monitoring and it works well.

Hi John,
See if these resources could help you.
Using the undocumented Rest API: authentication and invocation of Tableau Server
Authentication-Tableau Server REST API
You can use Postman to try the request before implementing in code.
