Databricks authentication

[Ruby8376]

Hi there!!

we are planning to use databricks -tableau on prem integration for reporting. Data would reside in delta lake and using ta leau-databricks connector, user would be able to generate reports from that data .

question is: a private end point will be used and it goes through express route. How will the access to databricks be authenticated??

Hi @Ruby Rubi​ For tableau-databricks authentication are you not able to use a Databricks personal access token? PAT is the recommended method for authentication. Alternatively, you could also use a Databricks username (typically your email address) and password.

See if this doc help- https://docs.databricks.com/partners/bi/tableau.html#requirements

You need to create the first private endpoint to your infrastructure and then can connect to Databricks via it. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/administration-guide/cloud-configurations/azure/p...

Yes private end point is enabled for databricks and storage ADLS gen 2 in prod.

and make sure that you are going with SPARK SQL connection , else it will always fail
