How to use Custom directory ?

Hi,

in QV10 R4 Server, as i have issues using ODBC Connector with Oracle 10g (bug with .net and the ODBC client) and i have strange behaviour with AD, i have decided to use Custom Directory

I have created a Custom directory, created a user XXXX with password XXXX

When i want to connect to access point, it never works.

I have configured the Qlikview Webserver Authentification settings with :

Authentification : Login

Type : Custom User with CUSTOM\ as a prefix

Login address : Default Login Page

every time i havbe the login query, i use XXXX and XXXX as a password and it says login failed.

What am i doing wrong ?

I have tried all authentification options, with Alternate login page, it still doesn't work .. i really don't understand

thanks

Hi Giles,

That is right. If you have the browser set to remember user and password, forms, or so, it may happen that when in the same session you try to login to the Server using a different username and you are not prompted until you either clear all caches as you did or modify the settings of the browser to prompt each time and never remember passwords for your QlikView Servers.

Thanks.

I seem to be struggling with a similar issue....  Document access thru DMS works fine, but I cannot use any of my Custom Users or NTLM Users to get into Access Point.

My next idea was to troll thru the Authorization-table and see what level of permsissions my users have, but I'm afraid I don't have a publisher license.

Or perhaps I'm missing something in IIS App Pool setup?

Hi Frederic,

I use custom authentication a lot

You need to 1st set-up your custom list first, create a directory service list named custom in the DSC listing custom,  then add a user or two in the list giving them a password etc, remember to enable the accounts check the check box, out of the box they are disabled, you can add groups also if you prefer. Default port is 4735

In the server tab select QV Server running  to run in DMS mode (QlikView authenticating).

Goto the webserver setting in the management console select  "type custom user". I set authententicatiion to "authenticate at log on" and use "alternative  login page web form"

Now in Management Console go to documents, user documents select the document you wish to grant access to, select authorization and allocate your user from the list, if you cannot see a user, select the drop down list (default scope ) and choose custom which is toggling between the DSC to select users from. You can add the server objects and if you have cals available you can add dynamic allocation for CALs.

This should work, I use it most days without issue.

Hope this helps?

Thanks Steve

Hi all,

I have a similar problem for our client. (not the same just similar)

Opening the Access point with local network and public network works fine

BUT logging in fails when we use a PROXY for LOCAL NETWORK

Say I have this info

Username: MIS

Password: password

If we remove the proxy we can log in just fine

But when we use our proxy we always get “Login Failed” (with same login details as above)

QlikView version 10 R4

Best Regards,

Alex
