Connecting Active Directory as Tableau data source

The ability to connect with Active Directory as a data source is not currently built into Tableau desktop.

 

 The best practice to get around this issue is to mirror the unsupported data source onto a support data source, so you can place the data you want to analyze in a form that Tableau Desktop can properly connect with. The article below goes into more detail on this issue and using an ODBC connection:
