With version 9 you have to write your own connector. Starting with version 10 there is a generic connector you can use.

I have version 11.  I was under the impression that the connector was for CAL assignment and not for authentication.  I tried to use Configurable LDAP and was able to see all the users to assign CALS but it would only let me authenticate with the local user for the machine.

That is correct. You have to write your on SSO page and most people pass the Header to QV.

I have very little experience with SSO, are you suggesting creating a SSO page from scratch and use LDAP authentication on the back end to authenticate the user.  Thanks again for your assistance.

Qlikview only authenticates against Microsoft. So, if you need to authenticate against another LDAP (Novell, ADAM, etc) you will have to build the front end to do that. Then once you authenicate the user you can pass it to QVS though the header field.

Ok, that makes perfect sense.  The issue i have is the install i am doing the machine is not on the domain so the users can authenticate using Active Directory or LDAP, they are only able to use the local users.  If i understand correctly the only option is to build a front end SSO page to authenticate the user against the Active Directory or LDAP.
