Re: Cannot authenticate users via LDAPS - Page 2 - Qlik Community

Hi,

We're facing issues autheticating users over LDAPS. I can connect to the LDAPS server and find users. After adding licenses to the users I try to log in. When I try to log in, I get "Login failed". Attaching my DSP settings.

QlikView setup is very confusing in this area. The Directory Service Connector is principally there to support authorization. Simply adding your LDAP details into the DSC setup is not sufficient to support authentication of your user against that LDAP directory.

In order to authenticate your user's login using your LDAP service as the arbitrator of that authentication, you almost certainly need to create a custom login page to gather the user's login details and to validate them against your LDAP service.

In the Support Portal QlikView publish a document Customized Authentication v2 0.pdf the link is here This describes how LDAP, web ticketing and creating your own login forms. This document will be invaluable for you.

Following on from that @Johannes Sunden goes into detail in his posting QlikView 11.2 - Authenticate against LDAP via login form and even provides some example code.

Hi Paul

I think this could help me in the right direction. unfortunately I don't have access to Salesforce. But the link fo @Johannes Sundens case seems like a hint

I don't know how to attach docs or the facility has been stopped so I cant attach a copy of Customized Authentication V2 0.pdf

@Bill Britt has attached the document in a response on this thread

Hope it helps.

Hi,

QlikView does not do authentication only authorization..... The LDAP connector are used to assign users and groups to documents and not for authentication.

You will have to build yourself a SSO solution and and past the header information to Qlik.
