tableau documentation may be out of date

Per a recent integration experience, one of our customers has indicated that our Tableau documentation might be out of date.

From user/integrator

• CORS needs the origin https://sso.online.tableau.com with POST method in FusionAuth Admin UI
• Must map the entry for username to map to the email in tableau
• The initial struggle is you have to put in dummy issuer/redirect url, then download the metadata, then upload that into TCloud. After you do that you get the valid issuer and ACS to put in
• Use the logout url in the SAML config as the tableau site login

Additionally tableau does support OIDC connections - however, their validation messages when setting up the connection are not always very specific (hint: make sure that you set you issuer correctly on the tenant to avoid heartburn)
