Configure trusted authentication (trusted tickets) for user authentication on Tableau Server.

Syntax:

Go to command prompt on the machine where Tableau server is installed and run the below command with correct variable/options.

tsm authentication trusted configure [options] [global options]

Ex: tsm authentication trusted configure -th "192.168.1.101"

Here "192.168.1.101" is web server IP, you can even use web server name here.
