We have a project based around using Sharepoint 2010 and using the WebParts to display Qlikview data on various pages throughout the site. Our main requirement for the parts is to display charts but depending upon which page they are on we would pre-filter the data using JavaScript to hook into the API.
Our main issue with version 9 was the multi-hop authentication issue. This is where we have Sharepoint on one server and Qlikview on another. Using NTLM, when the client browser connects to Sharepoint, then Sharepoint calls over to Qlikview, NTLM cannot do the impersonation, therefore Qlikview sees the call as being anonymous.
We could solve this using Kerberos, but Kerberos always seems to be a nightmare to configure and as we are using a 3rd party hoster this might not be an option.
As we were using Sharepoint 2010, Qlikview would only support the upcoming version 10, which luckily was adverstised as solving this multi hop issue by hosting the QvAjaxZfc in a virtual directory alongside sharepoint whihc could then handle the authentication through to Qlikview.....Fantastic...the solution to all of our problems.
However, after working our way through the new Qlikview 10 documentation, it does indeed state in many places that we can host the QvAjaxZfc directory on Sharepoint and this solves the Multi-Hop issue, but nowhere does it explain how you set it up and configure it.
We have spent days trying to set up QV10 for this scenarion with no success, and unfortunately, the Qlikview support team refuse to help as this is not a standard install (maybe this should not have been documented as such in the product literature !).
In addition to this, the Qlikview web parts seem to have been re-written and the Javascript used for version 9 no longer works. There is probably a new Javascript calling method, but as yet I have been unable to find anything on this.
Is there anybody out there who has used QV10 web parts who can offer any suggestions, help, advise or at least some soothing words to lower my frustration with the new product...
Cheers.
