| * If you plan to implement OAuth in your dashboard extension, you'll want to checkout [Add OAuth to Dashboard Extensions]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/trex_oauth.html), and the OAuth sample ([datadev-oauth-sign-in](https://glitch.com/~datadev-oauth-sign-in){:target="_blank"}) on Glitch. | ||

| * Because of browser changes in Tableau, dashboard extensions running on localhost or with self-signed certificates (SSL) might not work in Tableau 2021.1, or in the most recent Tableau maintenance releases: 2020.2.7+, 2020.3.6+, and 2020.4.2+. For more information, see [Known Issues]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/trex_known_issues.html#unable-to-run-dashboard-extension-on-localhost-or-use-self-signed-certificates). |

Isn't the issue only with self-signed certificates @seanmakesgames? Why is localhost mentioned here?

This was answered in another thread. This is localhost with self-signed certificates.

Actually-- leaving as a note to fix. Let's just call this "extensions running with self-signed certificates" in all places. Let's take localhost out of the mix

@johnDance @KeshiaRose @seanmakesgames I forgot to include the updated debugging page where we talk about how you can use Chrome to debug (instead of Chromium) with Tableau 2021.1 and the latest maintenance releases. I'll add that file to this PR. |

| ### Unable to run dashboard extension using self-signed certificates | ||
|
|

| Tableau uses Qt WebEngine to embed browser pages within a dashboard. Tableau now uses Qt WebEngine 5.15, which is based on Chromium version 87.0.4280, with additional security fixes from newer versions of Chromium. Because Tableau is now using Qt WebEngine (5.15), dashboard extensions running with self-signed certificates (SSL) might not work in Tableau 2021.1, or in the most recent Tableau maintenance releases: 2020.2.7+, 2020.3.6+, and 2020.4.2+. |

The first sentence and introduction in the third sentence both seem redundant.

@johnDance Thanks, John. I just merged this to the dev branch (doh!). I'll edit the file in the dev branch and remove the redundancy.
