Embedded Dashboard Displays a Login Prompt Button with SAML (SSO) Authentication

Publiseringsdato: Dec 23, 2025
Beskrivelse
When navigating to an embedded Tableau view, a "Sign in to <Server Name>" button displays when automatic authentication over the IdP is expected. 

Cause

By default, Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud embedded views open a separate window for SAML IdP authentication to minimize the risk of Clickjacking.
 
Løsning

Option 1: 

Use Trusted Authentication to embed views without requiring a login. 

Option 2: 

Allow in-frame authentication. 
Note: Enabling this ability requires disabling Clickjack protection, introducing an increased exposure to clickjacking attacks. 

For Tableau Server configured to use Server-Wide SAML:

  1. Open a command prompt as an Administrator on the computer where Tableau Server is installed.
  2. Execute the following commands:
  • tsm configuration set -k wgserver.saml.iframed_idp.enabled -v true.
  • tsm pending-changes apply
For more information, see the Complete the SAML configuration steps section of Configure Server-Wide SAML. 


For Tableau Cloud, or for Tableau Server configured to use Site-Specific SAML:

Ensure the below two options are properly configured under Settings > Authentication: 
  1. Set the Default authentication type for embedded views to SAML. 
  2. Under Embedding options, select Authenticate using an inline frame (less secure; not supported by all IdPs). 
For more information, see Configure SAML for a site.
