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. For example: http://sampleserver:1234/
• DatabaseScope: The name of a scope in the Domino Web UI. The connector exposes forms and views for the schema governed by the specified scope. In the Domino Admin UI, select the Scopes menu in the sidebar. Set this property to the name of an existing scope.

Authenticating to Domino

Domino supports authenticating via either login credentials (OAuthPassword) or Microsoft Entra ID (AzureAD).

Login Credentials

Set these properties:

• AuthScheme: OAuthPassword.
• User: The authenticating Domino user's login.
• Password: The authenticating Domino user's password.

The connector uses the login credentials to automatically perform an OAuth token exchange.

Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)

Note: Microsoft has rebranded Azure AD as Entra ID. In topics that require the user to interact with the Entra ID Admin site, we use the same names Microsoft does. However, there are still CData connection properties whose names or values reference "Azure AD".

This authentication method uses Azure Active Directory as an identity provider (IdP) to obtain a JWT token. Before a user can authenticate via Azure AD, a user with admin privileges must create a custom Azure AD OAuth application in Azure Active Directory and configure it as an IdP, as described in Creating a Custom Entra ID (Azure AD) Application.

Once the custom Azure AD application has been completed, set these properties:

• AuthScheme: AzureAD.
• InitiateOAuth: GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken.
• OAuthClientId: The Client ID that was obtained during custom Azure AD application creation.
• OAuthClientSecret: The Client Secret that was obtained during custom Azure AD application creation.
• CallbackURL : The redirect URI that was specified during custom Azure AD application registration. For example, https://localhost:33333.
• AzureTenant: The Microsoft Online tenant being used to access data. Supply either the Tenant ID, or a value in the form companyname.microsoft.com.
  (The Tenant ID is the same as the directory ID shown in the Azure Portal's Azure Active Directory > Properties page.)
