When using Tableau Desktop to login to Tableau Server with OAuth authentication where a proxy server or a load balancer is configured, the following errors can occur:
When using Tableau Desktop to login to Tableau Server with OAuth authentication, the java process is responsible for communicating to Tableau Desktop using localhost. 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 the proxy server and it will fail.
Add an environmental variable NO_PROXY to bypass a proxy server when accessing localhost.
Note: Entries of the NO_PROXY environment variable are separated by a comma, not a semi-colon.
If the proxy setting is configured in "Internet Options", you may also need to exclude localhost there.
Note: Entries of the Exceptions section are separated by a semi-colon, not a comma.
