Regarding SSL connection with datasource #706
Description
Hi,
I am trying to publish tableau workbooks using Python library and using MySql DB as datasource. I am facing the following issue:-
403007: Forbidden
Workbook failed to establish a connection to your datasource.
I think its because my DB is on SSL and expects certificate provided by the client while making connection. It looks like there is no property in ConnectionItem where we can specify certificate and enable SSL connection. Is there a way to specify it? Or the issue can be because of another reason?
Would appreciate any help !

No sure if you resolved your issue, but I used the information below to resolve my SSL connection issues.

In my case:

Reopening — confirmed this is a real gap in the REST API (there's currently no way to supply a client SSL certificate for datasource connections). This is being tracked internally.
