I believe that the trial is the full version of TS, it just expires.

Within 10.0, mixed authentications is not permitted.  In other words, you can't have SAML on one site and AD integration on another site.  But I think this may be something that they are working on.

yes, site specific SAML is supported.

Ravi,

Site-Specific SAML is supported in both Tableau Server and Tableau Online.  The article you linked is specific for Tableau Online.  Here is the guide for Tableau Server:

Configure Site-Specific SAML

What Jeff said above is correct, the trial version of Tableau Server is the full version, it simply expires once the license reaches the maintenance end date.

Hope that helps!

One addition to Jeff's response, site-specific SAML is currently supported when Local Authentication (versus Active Directory authentication) is the underlying authentication method.  See the section entitled "User management requirements" in the SAML Requirements document.

1) Is site specific authentication possible in the latest version of Tableau server? (different authentication mechanism not authentication based on different IdP provider)

Example : If there are 2 sites within Tableau server, can we setup one site with Active Directory Authentication and another site with SAML Authentication using an IdP provider

Hi Thomas,

For Site-specific SAML, the underlying authentication method must be Local authentication.  Tableau Server can't be set up to use Active Directory authentication for the scenario you describe.  See "Prerequisites for enabling site-specific SAML" here:  Configure Site-Specific SAML - Tableau

Thanks!
