Qlik sense authentication process

Hello everyone,

I did not quite understood very well the authentication process. If there is anybody that has a clear vision on this i would be gratefull.

After creating the virtual proxy, generate certificate i'm running the node index.js command from command prompt.

var qsocks = require('qsocks');

var fs = require('fs');

var request = require('request');

var r = request.defaults({

  rejectUnauthorized: false,

  host: 'win-v9un77su0bn',

  pfx: fs.readFileSync('client.pfx')

})

//  Authenticate whatever user you want

var b = JSON.stringify({

  "UserDirectory": 'win-v9un77su0bn',

  "UserId": 'demouser',

  "Attributes": []

});

//  Get ticket for user - refer to the QPS API documentation for more information on different authentication methods.

r.post({

  uri: 'https://win-v9un77su0bn:4243/qps/vp/ticket?xrfkey=abcdefghijklmnop',

  body: b,

  headers: {

    'x-qlik-xrfkey': 'abcdefghijklmnop',

    'content-type': 'application/json'

  }

},

function(err, res, body) {

  //  Consume ticket, set cookie response in our upgrade header against the proxy.

  var ticket = JSON.parse(body)['Ticket'];

  r.get('https://win-v9un77su0bn/vp/hub/?qlikTicket=' + ticket, function(error, response, body) {

  var cookies = response.headers['set-cookie'];

  //  qsocks config, merges into standard https/http object headers.

  //  Set the session cookie correctly.

  //  The origin specified needs an entry in the Whitelist for the virtual proxy to allow websocket communication.

  var config = {

       host: 'win-v9un77su0bn',

       isSecure: true,

       origin: 'http://localhost',

       rejectUnauthorized: false,

       headers: {

       "Content-Type": "application/json",

       "Cookie": cookies[0]

      }

  }

  console.log('User ticket: ' + ticket)

  })

});

The ticket is successfully generated, but when i try to access in browser a file containing code from a mashup, i am still required to authenticate.Is this normal? i would presume that once the ticket was generated the user would be automatically connected and i could display the chart objects.
