After Upgrading Tableau Server to May 2023 Release, Connections to Web Data Connectors are Failing with Error: "Unable to load URL" Found in Logs

Beskrivelse

After upgrading Tableau Server, Web Data Connector ("WDC") data sources using a blank/empty --secondary URL are failing to connect, with error message: "Unable to load URL" showing in the logs.

Cause

As of the May 2023 release of Tableau Server, the Web Data Connectors can no longer have a blank value for --secondary used to designate a secondary safe list. See Known Issues record here. 

Løsning

A solution was deployed In 2021.3.26, 2021.4.21, 2022.1.17, 2022.3.9, 2023.1.5. 

 

See below for a workaround:

Add a --secondary value to the WDC using tsm data-access web-data-connectors add .

If it is unclear what value should be used here, work with the creator of the affected WDC to establish what secondary URL/s will need to be added. 

In some scenarios, one or more of the following details will be needed:

  • Adding https://.* and http://.* to the secondary allow list for a WDC has resolved the behavior for some customers, and may be an acceptable mitigation if the WDC creator specifies that there is no secondary URL needed. 
  • Removal of a previous version of the WDC that did not contain a value for --secondary may be necessary. Use tsm data-access web-data-connectors list to determine whether there are multiple WDC configurations with the same name/primary URL, and tsm data-access web-data-connectors delete to remove any WDCs with no secondary allow list value.

Identifying this behavior using Tableau Server logs:

In tabprotosrv logs (tabprotosrv_<process-name>_<date>.txt), look for these two error message patterns in the same log line:

"Secondary whitelisting: does not find a corresponding entry for URL '<WDC Primary URL>', hence it is not allowed"

{"excp-error-code":"0x2CEE0515","excp-source":"NeedsClassification","excp-status-code":"UNKNOWN"},"v":"Web data connector secondaryWhitelist failed request for url '<WDC Primary URL>'; ask your Tableau server admin to enable this url in the secondary whitelist."

Above this error, there will also be a line in the logs that contains both of the below details alongside other details for the WDC connection, which can be used to confirm that the --secondary value is blank:

"k":"construct-protocol-group"

"secondary_whitelist":""
 

Additional information:
 

If you have added a --secondary URL and are still unable to refresh extracts with WDC 2.0 you may be experiencing a separate issue:

Tableau Server (versions 2021-2023) is unable to refresh WDC 2.0 extract
