Requirements

Network and server

There are prerequisites and things you’ll need before the installation:

  • A web domain, for example, <https://extension.company.com> (create a DNS entry) which points to the host of the extension.

  • Ensure the server is accessible solely via a VPN or within the company's internal network.

  • SSL certificates for the above domain (the installation requires the domain’s .crt and private .key file, or a .pfx file).

  • Server Resources: 4 vCPU, 8Gb, 50Gb application disk space, 100Mbps or 1Gbps network-interface.

  • Firewall rules permit access on port 443 (HTTPS) to the server (or any other port you configure in the startup commands of the extension server). Both internal, external, network and server-firewall.

  • A license (license.lic or LICENSE) from our portal (https://my-appsfortableau.infotopics.com).

  • Windows: Administrator access on Microsoft account (for the custom add-in setup).

  • Linux: Sudo/Root permissions to register the service.

  • Read the security page and make sure you are compliant: here
