configuring ldap authentication on qlickview

Now I describe my scenario

I chose "Full installation, Single machine with Microsoft IIS " and i have:

qlikview 11

Windows 2012 r2

iis 8.5

At first I used Active Directory authentication, and worked well.

i configure NTLM type on QVWS, NTFS authorization on QVS, with Windows authentication on IIS

On DSC->ActiveDirectory i configure LDAP://mydomain  , user and password

Now i used Custom User on QVWS, DSM authorization on QVS with Windows authentication disabled on IIS (and Anonymous authentication enabled on IIS)

i configure all on DSC->CustomDirectory

Also this configuration worked well, but i need to use an other external LDAP to authenticate my user and i have many problem.

Can someone please help me ?

On IIS a have windows authentication disabled and Anonymous authentication enabled on all application

On DSC->Configurable LDAP i put LDAP://myldap , user and password

in DSP Setting i fill all fields except the last three. These are required?

On QVS i chose DMS authorization

On QVWS how do I set it up?

custom user ?

someone has a manual? advice?

with LDAP,

On QMC->User-<User Management i can find my account on LDAP

the real question is: Can i use external LDAP to authenticate user on login page ?

ow i read this post: Purpose of Configurable LDAP

"You are correct that LDAP provides a list of users that can be used to configure CAL assignment and document authorization. Custom LDAP does not do authentication, only authorization."

so the alternate way are:

- AUTHENTICATION WITH A QLIKVIEW SERVER USING AN EXISTING SINGLE SIGN-ON SOFTWARE PACKAGE

Custom Ticket Exchange (CTE).

- AUTHENTICATION USING NEITHER IWA NOR SSO SOFTWARE

BI-WP-QlikView-Security-Overview-EN.pdf  

I would understand "Custom Ticket Exchange (CTE)"

Can someone please help me ?

Hi,

Qlik does not to authorization only authentication. You will have to write your own SSO for authorization. See the below link.

thanks Bill

i read your link so Qlik do only authorization.

A solution can be write my SSO, but CTE can be an other solution ?

can i use Custom Ticket Exchange to use external LDAP and authenticate the user on Qlick ?

You will have to write a SSO that authenticates the uses and either use Headers or WebTicketing to pass the information to QVS.

Hi Ales,

Many thanks for your response.

My requirement is , we have to use Lotus Domino as our authentication server. So I assume i should add the Lotus Domino server in Configurable LDAP to bring users to QMC and assign document CALs to those users.

I need details of input parameters( in below image) along with Server IP Adress. Ex: dc = Domain etc..

Also changes of default settings in below screen.

I want to use DMS authorization to control the document access to users in Access Point.

Since I want to use DMS Authorization, Do I need to add our Domino LDAP details in Active Directory?.

Thanks a lotttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt for your help.

BR,

Chinna.

you want use Lotus Domino as authentication server, so you have my same proble.

I also want to use an ldap as external authenticator.

In DSC you can configure LDAP only for Authorization.

I fill the Directory Service Path with ldap://myldapserver, username and password of an service account.

To assign different right on documents, go in USER->Section Access Management, and in Documents-> User Documents ... select a file and then Authorization

In System -> Setup -> QVS -> Security, on Authorization i have DMS, but I did nothing on my Active Directory
