Can one QV web server instance use more than 1 IP address?

I work for a company that has more than one division operating under different names.

Rather than using a single url like QlikView.MainCompany.com they want to run as:

  1. QlikView.DivisionOne.com
  2. QlikView.DivisionTwo.com.

The problem is we have to use HTTPS and to do that I need to support two different IP addresses to tie the SSLs to.

Thoughts?

Just a few ideas:

  • Run IIS and QVWS together on two network interfaces or two IPs, or
  • Install a QVWS on two VMs

I think this is possible if you define two QlikView Web Servers under IIS. May be much simpler than my two previous suggestions...

My issue is not with IIS.  I can set host headers in IIS to differentiate the two urls.

And I can have IIS flip the HTTP users over to the fully qualifed url /qlikview/index.htm using HTTPS

My issue is binding the 2nd SSL so that people do not get a certificate error.

Also, it appears that QV webserver is not listening on that 2nd IP address.

Do I need to reinstall so that it picks up the 2nd address maybe?

Your issue is with IIS, as I think that the easiest solution to have two hostnames with a different SSL certificate each serve an AccessPoint can be accomplished by defining two AccessPoint web sites in IIS and bind each one to a different name with a different certificate (and a different IP address if you like). Both of them will send document requests to the same QVS and you won't need QVWS (which would be redundant anyway).

It might require a lot of manual configuring.

Okay here's what I have so far:

I am running the QlikView Web server

IIS

http://qv.company1.com redirects to https://qv.company1.com/qlikview/index.htm

http://qv.company2.com redirects to https://qv.company2.com/qlikview/index.htm

CMD

netsh http add sslcert ipport=192.168.4.110:443 certhash=35d638316596921da9a47342b7efc4425a32dfa3 appid={F81B8ED4-BFAD-44d5-B602-0F403ADEAF17}

netsh http add sslcert ipport=192.168.4.59:443 certhash=80e13fe0a92bf2303141205a08565423908f5c59 appid={999B3668-108C-40dc-B2E6-DF3A4E655702}

QV loads as expected for company1 but gives a 404 for company2

I have an old note from when I setup company1 "Change webserver url to http://qv.company1.com:4750/QVWS/Service"

However within QV Managment Console\System\Setup\QV WebServers\General I see http://ServerName:4750/QVWS/Service and use https is checked.

BTW: Thanks for your help
