How to access http header parameters in Qlikview script?

[#1]

Hi,

I am new to QlikView. I have created a QlikView sample application and have deployed it on Qlikview server as User document.

Now I want to pass some parameters in Http header that I want use in QlikView script so that I can control the data being shown.

Please help me with this or provide me any document or link.

If you want to control which data are accessable to which user you will need Section Access.

Hi Marcus

Thanks for the Reply.

I have implemented sectional access in my document but it will ask for login to do so.

My requirement is to pass the authenticated user and its role in request header and use it to control the data to be shown.

Does it possible with QlikView? Please guide me with this.

You could use header authentication to authenticate the users but you couldn't do any autorization with them - the autorization with section access happens within the application by opening them.

Take a look within the various attachments of this discussion: DMS Header Authentication - Windows Authentication Prompt.

Hi Marcus,

I have used that document and it works fine with header based Authentication.

Now I want use the user (Passed in Header) in section access.

How to use that user in QlikView script to filter data accordingly.

Thanks in Advance.

I'm not absolutely sure by a header authentication but I think it's the same like by a normal authentication per active directory (NT) or per custom users (DMS) so that you could just use NTNAME for it within the section access.

Hi Marcus,

It works,

I am passing user name from header and now I can use that username in my section access table.

Ex.

Section Access;

LOAD * INLINE [

    ACCESS, NTNAME, COUNTRY   

    ADMIN, GANESH, INDIA

USER, RAJNISH, USA

USER, SHAISHAV, UK

];

Section Application;

Result :

           Rajnish can see only USA related data.

Thanks for the help
