Qlik Sense Virtual Proxy Setup for Session Authentication via Postman

Anonymous — Fri, 02 Nov 2018 20:23:15 GMT

Hi,

I have,

1. Qlik Sense Server setup in AWS.

2. Access the management console at https://xyz.abc.qwe/qmc

2. Admin account for QMC

3. User account for creating sheets which will displayed in a web application(remotely hosted) via iframe.

I'm try to setup a Qlik Sense Virtual Proxy for Session Authentication. I followed https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/September2018/Subsystems/ManagementConsole/Content/Sense_QMC/create-virtual-proxy.htm for setting up the virtual proxy and modified following properties properties,

Identification - Prefix, Session cookie header name (X-Test-Qlik)
Authentication
- Anonymous access mode - No anonymous user
- Authentication method - Ticket
- Windows authentication pattern - Blank
- Authentication module redirect URI - Blank
Advanced
- Host white list - IP of the server where my web application is hosted

I'm trying to create a session using the https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/September2018/Subsystems/ProxyServiceAPI/Content/Sense_ProxyServiceAPI/Proxy…,

URL - https://xyz.abc.qwe/qps/session

POST

BODY - {"UserDirectory": "XXXXXX","UserId": "yyyyyy", "Attributes":[],"SessionId": "asCreatedInMyApp"}

This configuration is not working. What am I missing? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

What happens? Do you get any error message? What does it say in the browser console?

Hi Erik,

I get a '404 No rest method matches the incoming request' error.

Thanks,

Hi Erik,

1. Opened port 4243 in the Windows Server firewall settings.

2. Initialized a node application using https://github.com/flautrup/SessionAPITestModule for testing.

I'm now getting a 503 service unavailable error with the below configuration,

URL - https://{HOST}:4243/adv/qps/session?Xrfkey=0123456789abcdef

BODY - {
"UserDirectory": "XXXXXX",
"UserId": "XXX",
"Attributes":[],
"SessionId": "abc123456789xyz"
}

All the Qlik services are running fine according to the Windows Services utility and no errors in the proxy logs(LOCAL_MACHINE/ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Log\Proxy\~)

Thanks!
