Discuss Salesforce Analytics-Admn-201 Exam Topic 4 Question 2

Which three types of authentications can be used with user-based licensing? (Choose three.)

ALocal authentication

BReliance authentication

CTrusted authentication

DActive Directory

Suggested Answer: A, C, D

Tableau Server's user-based licensing (Creator, Explorer, Viewer) ties licenses to individual users---let's determine compatible authentication methods:

User-Based Licensing:

Licenses are assigned per user, tracked by username.

Authentication determines how users log in---must integrate with licensing.

Option A (Local authentication): Correct.

Details: Users are managed in Tableau Server's internal database---username/password set manually or via import.

Why: Directly ties to user accounts, fully compatible with licensing.

Option C (Trusted authentication): Correct.

Details: Allows external apps to authenticate users via tickets (e.g., /trusted/<ticket>).

Why: Maps to Tableau usernames, integrating with licensing---common for embedded analytics.

Config: Trusted IPs or credentials set in TSM.

Option D (Active Directory): Correct.

Details: Uses AD for authentication (LDAP or Kerberos)---users sync to Tableau Server.

Why: AD usernames align with licensing---supports SSO and user management.

Config: Enable via tsm authentication active-directory configure.

Option B (Reliance authentication): Incorrect.

Why: Not a recognized Tableau authentication method---likely a typo (e.g., for 'Resilience' or misheard term). No such feature exists.

Why This Matters: Authentication flexibility ensures user-based licensing fits diverse IT environments---critical for adoption.

Trusted authentication sounds familiar, but I can't remember if it's actually used with user-based licensing.

I think local authentication is definitely one of the options, but I'm not sure about the others.

I'm a little unsure about this one. I know local authentication is an option, but I'm not totally sure about the other two. I'll have to review my study materials again before answering.

This looks straightforward enough. Local authentication, Active Directory, and Trusted authentication are the three types of authentication that can be used with user-based licensing. I feel pretty confident about that.

Okay, let's see. Local authentication is definitely one, and Active Directory is another common option. I'm not as sure about the third one - maybe Trusted authentication? I'll have to double-check my notes.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. I remember something about reliance authentication, but I'm not sure if that's one of the options. I'll have to think this through carefully.
