Connecting Open LDAP from Linux to Qlik

[santho_ak]

Hi,

     I am new to Qliksense. Need some help in deployment. I need to connect open LDAP which is sitting inside LINUX. I need to extract user details from LDAP  to Qlik server which is in different domain. Can anyone suggest me the ways it can be done.

Thanks.

Getting user attributes from a generic LDAP (wherever it is) is not a big problem. You need to configure a generic LDAP UDC. Follow the instructions here: http://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/September2017/Subsystems/ManagementConsole/Content/user-directory-c...

Authenticate those users against they LDAP is a different kind of job. You need to define a new virtual proxy and define a new custom authentication, because you can't use a standard windows authentication. 

There is an extension on branch which can help

Hi Santhosh,

Were you able to connect to the OpenLdap?

I am trying to connect to one but not being able to bring users into Qlik Sense.

Thanks.

Regards,

Sergio.

Even if this is an old topic, we had the exact same problem a couple of weeks ago.  Like already mentioned by Vincenzo, the problem is the authentication part, when the LDAP server doesn't support windows auth.

Therefore, we have implemented a configurable service, which provides a custom authentication form.  It is now available on GitHub: https://github.com/InformDataLab/QlikLdapLogin
