How do I add a custom login and logout page in my Tableau Server on-prem

Question

The following is the scenario for tableau server:

I'd want to have my own login/logout page. I want to avoid the tableau server login screen by using trusted auth or SSO when logging into my custom website. This step appears to be theoretically conceivable.

How can I prevent the default tableau login page from diverting to my custom logout page when I log out or a session timeout occurs? Also, how can I prohibit direct access to the tableau server URL, i.e., if I ban someone who hits the tableau server URL without using my web app?

Answer 1

I don't believe it is "officially" possible to construct a custom login page like you describe, however you may start by following a tutorial that demonstrates how to hack the official login page C:Program FilesTableauTableau Server9.0vizportalclientpubliclanguage> and create a custom HTML/JS script on it.

Typically, instructions focus on adding background, colour, etc., rather than complex functions, so you'll have to start from scratch and risk corrupting the file. This is, in my opinion, one of the greatest tutorials.
