3. On the Settings tab, set the Application Callback URL to: http://{yourTableauServer}/wg/saml/SSO/index.html.

   

4. Paste the following code into the Settings text box and click Debug.

   {
        "audience":  "{yourTableauAudience}",
        "recipient": "http://{yourTableauServer}/wg/saml/SSO/index.html",
