Authentication

The MongoDB Tableau connector uses a connection dialog that includes fields such as MongoDB URI and Database, along with optional advanced settings depending on authentication mechanism.

Username and Password

Authenticates using a username and password.

• username: Your MongoDB username
• password: Your MongoDB password

X509

For X509 authentication, you can specify the certificate in two ways:

Using PEM File Path

• In mongodb_jdbc.properties, set the x509pempath property to the file path of your PEM certificate
  Example:
  x509pempath=/certs/client-cert.pem
• In Tableau’s connection dialog, check the "Provide PEM Contents" checkbox if the file is encrypted
• Enter the passphrase in the "Password" field that appears

Using PEM Contents

• In Tableau’s connection dialog, check the "Provide PEM Contents" checkbox
• Paste the full unencrypted PEM certificate content directly into the "Password" field
• If the PEM is encrypted, provide a JSON object in the "Password" field with the keys pem and passphrase:
  • { "pem": "...", "passphrase": "..." }

GSSAPI (Kerberos)

Kerberos authentication using a principal name.

• username: The principal name (e.g., [email protected])

OIDC

OpenID Connect authentication — no additional properties or fields required in the connection dialog.
