I was wondering if anybody has setup up Tableau SAML authentication with
the shibboleth idp before? I've found a few blog entries for people
using ADFS with it, but nothing for shibboleth.

https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/saml.htm

It says the username must be passed in an attribute named "username",
but then it also says you can change the attribute name, which is a bit
confusing :). It also looks like it doesn't support encrypted
assertions. Would be nice if somebody who already got it working could
let me know about any other pitfalls ;).

Thanks...
