Qlik Sense does not support Basic Authentication.

May I ask why would you want to use it? What's your use case? It's not something I would typically recommend considering how it works...

Hi Rikard,

(i).I want to create a user and allow that user to use qlik sense applications.

(ii).I want to create ODBC connection and need to import user and roles.

we have two authentications forms and windows

we can't use windows authentication for importing users.

i think we have to use form authentication.

please suggest me ,How can we achieve this?

In general authentication is always happening outside of Qlik Sense. Qlik Sense does not manage user credentials or passwords, in other words we are not adding users to Qlik Sense. This information is typically stored within an Active Directory or some other form of user catalogue or database. Maybe this is a bit confusing, but the User Directory Connector allows Qlik Sense to synchronise information about these users, such as group belongings and other attributes.

If you want to use a custom authentication method I suggest looking into using the Ticket API or Session API (refer to the help) to integrate Qlik Sense with another product or another form of authenticating users. Below is a ASP.NET module to make ticketing easier...

The User Directory Connector(UDC) is not configured, because the following error occurred: Exception when trying to connect to the data source. Edit the connection string in the user directory connector configuration.

Hello-

In our organization there some models are created automatically at night (by dot net program),

As we know the each model gets its category automatically in Qlikview Management Console

under default category: 'default'.

the problem is I like to categorize the model under another category

name that already exists: 'sales'

and not through the manual way:

QVMC > Documents > (Select Document) > Document Information > Category

but I'm looking for a way to do it by dot net code (C #).

I saw in the QMS API Documentation Help:

'Document MetaData.Document MetaData DocumentInfo.Category property'.

Do you know how to use the functions to change the category and save the change?

Thanks a lot,

Abi.
