After Installing the Connector you can connect and create a Data Source for data in Domino.

Setting Up a Data Source

Complete the following steps to connect to the data:

1. Under Connect | To a Server, click More....
2. Select the data source called Domino by CData.
3. Enter the information required for the connection.
4. Click Sign In.
5. If necessary, select a Database and Schema to discover what tables and views are available.

Using the Connection Builder

The connector makes the most common connection properties available directly in Tableau. However, it can be difficult to use if you need to use more advanced settings or need to troubleshoot connection issues. The connector includes a separate connection builder that allows you to create and test connections outside of Tableau.

There are two ways to access the connection builder:

• On Windows, use a shortcut called Connection Builder in the Start menu, under the CData Tableau Connector for Domino folder.
• You can also start the connection builder by going to the driver install directory and running the .jar file in the lib directory.

In the connection builder, you can set values for connection properties and click Test Connection to validate that they work. You can also use the Copy to Clipboard button to save the connection string. This connection string can be given to the Connection String option included in the connector connection window in Tableau.

Connecting to Domino

To connect to Domino data, set the following properties:

• URL: The host name or IP of the server hosting the Domino database. Include the port of the server hosting the Domino database.
• DataSource: The datasource to connect to on the Domino URL.

Notes

1. DataSource: is the scope name found in your Domino Admin UI. Go to your Domino Admin UI, navigate to the Scope Management page, and obtain the scope name you want to connect to.

Authenticating to Domino

Domino supports the following types of authentication:

• OAuthJWT
• AzureAD

OAuthJWT

This authentication method exchanges Domino user credentials for a JWT token. This method uses Domino's internal JWT provider. To authenticate using OAuthJWT authentication, set AuthScheme to OAuthJWT and set the following properties:

• User: The username of the authenticating Domino user.
• Password: The password associated with the authenticating Domino user.

AzureAD

This authentication method uses Azure Active Directory as an IdP to obtain a JWT token. This method is used as an external JWT provider. You need to create a custom OAuth application in Azure Active Directory and configure it as an IdP. To do so, follow the instructions here: https://opensource.hcltechsw.com/Domino-rest-api/howto/IdP/configuringAD.html. To authenticate using AzureAD authentication, set AuthScheme to AzureAD and set the following properties:

• InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken.
• OAuthClientId: Set this to the Client ID obtained when setting up the custom OAuth application.
• OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the Client secret obtained when setting up the custom OAuth application.
• CallbackURL : Set this to the redirect URI defined when you registered your app. For example: https://localhost:33333

Notes

1. AzureTenant is generally supplied in the form companyname.microsoft.com, but it is also acceptable to specify the tenant Id. (The tenant Id is the same as the directory Id shown in the Azure Portal Azure Active Directory > Properties page.)

   When OAuthGrantType is set to CODE (the default), AzureTenant is usually not needed unless the user belongs to multiple tenants. When OAuthGrantType is set to CLIENT, AzureTenant is required.

2. The AzureAD AuthScheme is generally used with a custom OAuth application to establish the required OAuth credentials. These usually take the form of an account identifier or cllient ID, and the account password or client secret.
