LDAP filters in Qlik Sense

Hi!

Has anyone tried the LDAPfilter in QlikSense to import users in an ADGroup?

I have tried everything and have the right syntacs from both the LDAP tool and in Active Directory. I get a sucsess with the syntacs, but no users get imported to Qlik Sense. Please see the pictures below:

I use the same syntacs in Sense: (&(objectClass=user)(memberOf=CN=G.CO.DWH.QlikAdministrator,OU=Admin Roles,DC=internal,DC=financecorp,DC=biz)), but get no error and no users in Sense. Please help

Hi Marthe,

have you tried to preceed the ldap query with (objectCategory=person)?

Something similar to:

(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(memberOf=CN=G.CO.DWH.QlikAdministrator,OU=Admin Roles,DC=internal,DC=financecorp,DC=biz))

Hi Marthe,

In Qlik Sense LDAP Connection editor ( when creating LDAP connection for ex to AD ) there is a checkbox to import only existing users. I assume this is ticked in your current setup so no new user is actually imported.

Uncheck it and try again.

hope this helps

Hi Shraddha,

Thanks for this, already read it. The problem is not the syntacs, I have the right syntacs and get access to the AD group using the LDAP filter using the string over. But I still dont get any users in to Sense. And I dont know why. Is it no other people who has had this problem in Sense?

Hi Marthe,

There is one more trick. Keep in mind that when bringing users to Qlik Sense using LDAP filters you must still bring a user who is running a Qlik Sense service (or possibly anyone who is a RootAdmin i presume).

If your filter is excluding those users (or you simply have forgotten about them) Qlik Sense prevents user import ( if it would continue then it would lock itself out )

Let me know how it goes.

kind regards

Lech

Path: //MyDomain.local

Additional Ldap filter:

(memberOf=cn=Qlik Users,OU=MyBusiness,OU=Groups,OU=Database Access,DC=MyDomain,DC=local)

(In this example “Qlik Users” group is nested in MyDomain.local > MyBusiness > Groups > Database Access)
