Custom URL to application

j_twardziak — Thu, 11 Apr 2019 15:42:19 GMT

Hello All!

Hope you are doing well.

I'm running Qlik Sense Enterprise environment that is hosted on the server called "BIQLIKSERVER". The URL to Hub is https://BIQLIKSERVER/

Application called "Hello World" was created and accessible via https://BIQLIKSERVER/sense/app/.....

The requirement is to create a custom URL, like http://QlikHelloWorld that opens the "Hello World" app straight away. When user selects this alias, the redirect should not change the URL back to https://BIQLIKSERVER/.

Would you know how to do that, please?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Janusz

dont know for sure if its achievable directly using settings.
but you could theoretically embed the whole app into a page/html and use that as the end point for your custom url

Could it be done? Probably, but not easily by any measure.

Easier (but still requiring a bit of config) would be to use a different webserver like IIS / Nginx / Apache to do the re-write to map https://biqlikserver/helloworld to https://biqlikserver/sense/app/appid and so on. I am not aware of an end-to-end guide on this but you'd basically be doing a re-write, taking docs for IIS (https://support.qlik.com/articles/000043332), and then separating out separate re-write rules for each of these vanity endpoints (e.g. helloworld, sales, finance).
