QlikView Web Ticket not passing User ID to QVW

I'm using the Webticket method of authenticating and section access for authorization (on QlikView Extranet Server).

I'm able to successfully generate a ticket and successfully log into the access point using the following call:


http://qvserver/QvAJAXZfc/Authenticate.aspx?type=html&webticket=niH06FElbrmGLxLFRXDXel44TNpUhGaQAZs0...


However, when I try to access a QVW with section access enabled, the user is then prompted for login credentials:

It was my understanding that QV would pass the User ID of the logged in user to the QVW file.

I'm using DMS method of authentication and my users are stored in a table using ODBC.

How can I pass these credentials to the QVW from my PHP webticket script to avoid this? I've tried hard coding user credentials in both the PHP script that generates the ticket and the QVW load script.


I cant use NTNAME, as this is a public/customer-facing server - therefore the users can't be authenticated with NTNAME.


Can anyone help??

One of the caveats to watch out for is that everything dealing with security is evaluated as UPPERCASE.

So when implementing the security script, make sure to use the UPPER() function to encompass the ingested fields

Yes, you just have to omit the password column in the Section Access table. So, authentication will be made based just in the user that is logged in to Windows,

Removing the password and using NTNAME as parameter in section access, makes that you won't need a password for login to the app, but only users logged with their Active Directory (windows) account will be able to see their corresponding data. Admin, will be able to override this security, because as its name says it is an Administrator,
