0.4.2 - Sign Connectors

Exasol Tableau Connector 0.4.2, released 2022-01-25

Summary

Starting with version 0.4.2 we now sign the JDBC and ODBC connectors with the official Exasol certificate. This will allow you to omit the -DDisableVerifyConnectorPluginSignature argument for Tableau Desktop and set native_api.disable_verify_connector_plugin_signature to false for Tableau Server.

Features

• #39: Signed connectors

0.4.1 - Removed "Database" field

Summary

Version 0.4.1 removes the "Database" field from the JDBC connection dialog. Exasol supports only a single database called EXA_DB, that's why removing the field simplifies the connection dialog.

Bug Fixes
