Error: "Couldn't connect to OAuth Server at localhost" or "Error Code: 84223ADA" for Data Sources Using OAuth

Data pubblicazione: Sep 4, 2025
Descrizione

Upon connecting to data sources that require OAuth authentication from where a proxy server is configured, the following errors can occur:
 

Error: Couldn't connect to OAuth Server at localhost

Authentication failed
Error Code: 84223ADA

Cause

On Tableau Desktop, connecting to data sources that require OAuth authentication, such as Google BigQuery, Google Analytics, Salesforce.com .etc, uses an additional java process to connect to these data sources. This java process is responsible for connecting data sources that require OAuth authentication as well as communicating to Tableau Desktop using local port.

If there is a proxy server configured on the machine where Tableau Desktop is running, the java process will try to communicate with Tableau Desktop via proxy server and fails.

Risoluzione

Option 1

If using Google BigQuery, use your web browser to connect to Google BigQuery web console and confirm if the data sets can be accessed there.

If you are unable to connect Google BigQuery and access your data sets with a web browser, please ask your internal IT team to white list the URL links for Google BigQuery on firewall, proxy and/or antivirus. 

Option 2

Delete the environment variables HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY

Option 3

Use a batch file like bellow to launch Tableau Desktop. (This will disable the environment variables for the proxy setting)

------ tab_exec.bat -------------------
@echo off

set HTTP_PROXY=
set HTTPS_PROXY=

start "" "C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau 2020.4\bin\tableau.exe"
----------------------------------------

Option 4

Set an exception so that the proxy server will not be used for communicating with localhost via Internet Option in IE as described in the article below.
