Error "SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK" When Connecting to Tableau Server

Udgivelsesdato: Sep 24, 2025
Beskrivelse

When you try to sign in to Tableau Server from Tableau Desktop, the following error might occur:
 

Cannot connect to Tableau Server. Please check the server name and port and try again.

Internet communication error: SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK <server name or IP>.
 

Cause

The server name used in the Server field of the Tableau Desktop connection dialog box does not match the Common Name defined in the SSL certificate.
OR
If your Tableau Server administrator has enabled Mutual SSL, then Tableau Server is looking for a "client certificate" on your Tableau Desktop computer. If that client certificate is missing or malformed, it will return the same "SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK" error.

Løsning

Option 1

Verify that the Common Name defined in the SSL certificate matches the server name in the Tableau Server Sign In dialog box.

Option 2

If Tableau Server is configured for Mutual SSL:

  • Work with your IT Team to configure the proper client certificates on the computer running Tableau Desktop or
  • As a Tableau Server administrator, open the "Configure Tableau Server" menu, and disable the "Mutual SSL" option listed on the SSL tab.
