Tableau and Anaplan Connection using Certificate Authentication

Hi,

I want to check if it is possible to use certificate authentication method with Anaplan Connector for Tableau. I am aware about the procurement process , just trying to understand if this is possible with Tableau.

If yes, can anyone share the steps?

Regards,

  • Hi Aakash,

    Yes - certificate authentication is supported for Tableau. Here is a link to setting it up:  https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/examples_anaplan.htm.

  • Hi @QuinE ,

    Thanks for the information. The literature provided is mostly from Tableau's point of view. I wanted to understand if with the discontinuation of Anaplan generated certificates , has there been any change to the possibility? Trying to find some concrete literature provided from Anaplan.

  • Hi @aakash,

    Relative to the Anaplan-generated certificates, those were discontinued several years ago. In their place, Anaplan started to support CA Certificates. Currently, this is the only supported approach for certificate authentication.
