QEMC Access Point URL

The default Access Point url is: http://localhost/qlikview/index.htm. If I wanted to create a generic url that users could access regardless of the server name how would I go about doing that? The reason I ask is I'd like to have a more generic name for the url so we can have users point to one address regardless of which server we have QlikView on.

thanks,

rob

Bjorn,

One last question: Everything is working perfectly. One thing I noticed however is our internal users are now prompted for their log-in credentials, using this new method, whereas before they were automatically validated through NTFS authorization. Is there something I can change in the QMC to automatically validate based on NTFS?

thanks again,

rob

Hey Rob,
Hmm...when do you get prompted for login credentials? Is it when trying http://server in the browser or is it when being redirected to http://server/qlikview ? Or is it when actually trying to open a document? If it is the first two, pay attention to the zone settings in IE. To be able to do "single-sign-on" using IWA, the zone in IE must be Local Intranet when reaching http://server. If not, add the site to the local intranet zone.

If I type http://server/qlikview I do not get prompted. Everything flows through to the QVW as expected. When I type in the new redirected url of http://bi-internal.datacoremarketing.com I get prompted immediately. All I have to do is fill in my AD credentials and I'm in, but if there was a way to flow through without being prompted that would be ideal.

FYI - I get prompted in both IE and Firefox.

Any ideas?

thanks,

rob

Add http://bi-internal.datacoremarketing.com to the Local Intranet zone in IE (tools - Internet options - security - Local Intranet - Sites - advanced). The zone should change from Internet to Local Intranet in the bottom of your browser window.

For FF, open FF and browse to about:config
locate "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris"
modify the value and add the site
you might also need to add values into "network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris" and "network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris"

For more info try googling Firefox and Integrated Windows Authentication

Hello Bjorn,

I am using DMS + Section Access with single sign-on.

I managed to login - using the login page - and connect to the Access Point but if I point http://server to the http://server/qlikivew (by modifying the confi.xml file) the login does not work properly. In other words, I do not manage to login directly on the Access Point page ... Do you know why and how I can fix this?

Also, I wonder if you have any tweak to point the http://server to the Login page (http://server/qlikview.login.htm) instead of the Access Point page (http//server.qlikview)?

Thanks,

Patrice

I saw the discussion using Alias instead of default server name, but in my case it is not exactly the same issue.
Even, I try what Bjorn suggested and the result is the same. So I went back to the default configuration.

"bi-internal.companyname.com" is an ALIAS(CNAME) records in DNS that point to the default server name (DefaultServerName) set during the installation.

Login to http://bi-internal.companyname.com/qlikview/index.htm : No problem to access the list of QVApps built and distributed.
The Single-Sign-On works well also with that url.
But, clicking on a link (My preferred client : IE Plugin) the page is blank and here are the 2 messages I get :

Line : 2
Character : 1
Error : Invalid String (or Invalid Character)
Code : 0
url : qvp://DefaultServerName/QVApp.qvw?iis_authenticate={ticket_number}&tunneler=http%3A//bi-internal.companyname.com/scripts/QVSTunnel.dll%3Fhost%3DDefaultServerName


Line : 1
Character : 1
Error : Expected object
Code : 0
url : qvp://DefaultServerName/QVApp.qvw?iis_authenticate={ticket_number}&tunneler=http%3A//bi-internal.companyname.com/scripts/QVSTunnel.dll%3Fhost%3DDefaultServerName


But as soon as I put the "http://DefaultServerName" in the trusted sites of IE it works well.

My issue is that, in my company, Host file is prohibited on end users machines; and trusted sites neither allowed; only the sites ending by "companyname.com" is to be used and are included in "Intranet Local" zone (in Security of IE Internet Options).

Could you help me fixing this issue ?

Thanks,
Gilles.

In "Program files\QlikView\Server\QVClients\QVPlugIn" :
- rename opendoc.htm as opendoc.bck
- then rename opendoc_fix.htm as opendoc.htm

This will solve security issues regarding frameset under IE.

I got some understanding on the redirecting the pages..But here is my requirement.

I have a 2 Cases

1) When the user is not having installed the Qlugin Plugin and he logged in, in this case what to show the customised message like "Your the First Time user want to install the qlikview Y/N.If Yes then the QlikView Installation has to taken place or N Ignore the action.

2) If the user is using the AZAX and is not a Authorised one then It's popping up for user id and password.This should be replaced with Proper message like ' NOT A AUTHORISED USER.Please contact so and so person'.

Can anyone help me in understanding 'What changes I have to do & where I have to do ....

Ram.
