Requirements

There are a few 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.

• 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.

Recommended to have a openssl package installed on the server. OpenSSL helps the application to validate any given SSL certificate, and check if it can be used.

Please note that Tableau requires extensions to be running on HTTPS/SSL connection and therefore required!
