Qlik Sense header based authentication for health check API

ganeshkale — Tue, 26 Feb 2019 18:28:48 GMT

Hello All, Is it possible to implement header based authentication for Qlik Sense health check APIs?

Currently in our environment, only kerberos authentication is enabled and its complicates the development of an automated tool which can periodically gets data from this API and dumps to a time series database for analysis.

The enterprise QS URL looks like :

https://<servername>/engine/healthcheck/

Thanks

Ganesh

Sure. The QPS exposed path (https://foo.company.com{/prefix}/engine/healthcheck) should honor any authentication setup on the virtual proxies. Is this not working?

Hi, turns out some mis-configuration by platform admin team. instead of $id@$ud they used $ud@$id while setting up virtual proxy. such a small error was hard to recognize. Thanks anyway for your help.
