Section Access without dual sign in

Kwame — Thu, 19 Aug 2021 07:05:27 GMT

Hi Guys!

So I have section access in place using UserID, Password & Reduction. With this, any user has to log in to the access point and then again the document i.e. dual sign in.

Is it possible just to have single access log in to the document?

Yes, that's possible. Use the NTName instead of UserID and Password

@Gysbert_Wassenaar Sorry I forgot to mention user authentication is not domain-based rather windows user environment.

Shouldn't matter.

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/May2021/Subsystems/Client/Content/QV_QlikView/Security.htm:

NTNAME

A field that should contain a string corresponding to a Windows NT Domain user name or group name. If a different authentication system is used, it should contain the name of an authenticated user.
QlikView will fetch the logon information from the OS and compare it to the value in this field.

Could you kindly help me set that up, still can't break through after the above post.

Here's how it's currently set up;

ACCESS	USERID	PASSWORD	NTNAME	AFFILIATE
ADMIN	Developer	********	Servername\developer	*
USER	User1	********		New York
USER	User2	********		London

Like Gysbert mentioned you need to replace USERID + PASSWORD with NTNAME. If it remained it will be queried because all applied authentications must be fulfilled - they are AND connected and not OR connected.

Further useful is often to use a textbox with osuser() within the UI to see how the NTNAME values are recognized. Beside this it's always recommended to have enough BACKUP's without any section access because there is a real risk to loose the application.
