## Tableau Server Configuration
### Disable client ip checking
Run following tabadmin commands:
Note tabadmin can be found here: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Tableau\Tableau Server\7.0\bin"
tabadmin set wg_server.extended_trusted_ip_checking false
tabadmin configure
tabadmin restart
### Whitelist your confluence server(s)
Run following tabadmin commands:
tabadmin set wgserver.trusted_hosts "192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2" (where 192.168.1.x are your confluence hosts)
tabadmin configure
tabadmin restart
The comma separated list of ip addresses should be within double quotes with a space after each comma.
For more information see the tableau server admin reference (page 224 / 225 / 229):
http://downloads.tableausoftware.com/quickstart/server-guides/en-us/server_admin7.0.pdf
## Installation of plugin
* Install the plugin by downloading it via the atlassian marketplace
* Login as a confluence admin
* Goto the menu 'Browse'
* Choose 'Confluence Admin'
* In the section 'Configuration' choose 'Plugins'
* Click on the 'Install' tab
* And choose 'Upload plugin'
* After this process you should see within 'Manage Existing' the 'Schuberg Philis Tableau Plugin'
## Configuration of plugin
Now that you have installed the plugin, configure your tableau hosts
Use a key, for instance: 'prod' or 'production' and a value 'http://tableauserver' or 'https://tableauserver'
It's possible to enter multiple hosts, but the first entry is the default entry.
Optionally, you can specify a seperate internal address by adding -internal, for example 'prod-internal': 'http://internaltableau'
Optionally, to disable trusted authentication client side, use the key 'disableclienttrustedauth' and set the value to 'true' trusted authentication is still used for exporting to word/pdf
There is one special entry for debugging purposes, and that is the key 'debugusername', with this entry you can override the username that is used for trusted authentication.
If your tableau instance requires a domain to authenticate you users, you can configure it with the key 'domain', for instance 'mydomain.local'.

| view | | name of the view in the workbook (case sensitive) |
| height | 550 | height in number of pixels |
| width | 1280 | width in number of pixels |
| environment | prod | option to point to other environment configured in section 'Configuration of plugin', for example use acc for acceptance environment |

| borderstyle | | extra css borderstyle properties, like 'border:red 1px solid' or 'background-color:gray' |

Open interactive view and point to acceptance environment
{tableau-plugin:workbook=TestWorkbook|view=Sheet1|interactive=true|environment=acc}
