Sync user directories through QRS API

Anonymous — Tue, 16 Oct 2018 15:50:54 GMT

Hi,

Trying to synchronize all the new users added in my Qlik sense user directory. New users get added into my qlik sense directory via LDAP sync. I'm able to successfully call the Qlik Repository Service API, i.e., qrs/userdirectoryconnector/syncuserdirectories. The call is successful but I'm unable to view the users in the QMC. Could someone help me on achieving this through the QRS APIs. I'm able to do this through the QMC by setting up a trigger for automatically syncing users from LDAP to qlik sense directory. I want to achieve this programmatically, through the APIs.

Thanks.

Hey Sai,

I am not following. What does this mean?

The endpoint for triggering a sync is:

POST /qrs/userdirectoryconnector/syncuserdirectories
Body: ["GUID of UDC"]

Are you not seeing additional users added to Qlik Sense? If so, what is your UDC config?

Hi Levi,

The API call is successful. I get 204 status code with no content, but users are not added to qlik sense. Users need to get added from ldap to qliksense. Moreover, the GUID of UDC keeps changing. My UDC config is Generic LDAP. I get this working manually by syncing it in the QMC. I want to do it programmatically through this API.

Again, I am not following things. Here's my work-flow:

> I get 204 status code with no content, but users are not added to qlik sense. Users need to get added from ldap to qliksense.

This suggests that either the UDC is not configured to pull in new users. e.g. sync data for existing users is checked or that there are no new users to sync.

> Moreover, the GUID of UDC keeps changing.

This should not occur unless you delete the UDC. The GUIDs are assigned on creation.

Hey Levi,

Done a POST request to this API endpoint qrs/userdirectoryconnector/syncuserdirectories with GUID in the body of the request. It does not sync new users into Qlik sense or does not find them in QMC Users. Unable to figure out things. Sharing the screenshot for your reference. The GUID of userdirectory connector I am considering is from the QMC. It is constantly changing.

On Wednesday, November 7th it is :

Again, on Thursday, November 8th :

Also, sharing my UDC configuration.

That isn't the GUID of the UDC. That's the GUID of a synthetic table created by the QMC to provide the layout.

Call /qrs/userdirectory/full to determine the GUID of the particular UDC.
