Qlik Sense Authentication Header with iframe

Shadi_Sai — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 06:12:07 GMT

Greetings,
I have a small question regarding the "Header Authentication Dynamic User Directory" method with the Iframe, if I have a stream that has Allow Anonymous User, and we have embed a sheet using Iframe, how is it possible to authenticate users using header authentication if we have inserted this Iframe in a separate webpage that is created by us.

Hello @Shadi_Sai

You would need to have Qlik Sense behind a reverse proxy and inject the header with a reverse proxy, that s the only way with iFrame and header authentication as far as I am aware.

For JWT authentication you can first call an endpoint and inject the header to create a session but for header authentication, the header needs to be there constantly and just calling an endpoint first to create a session is not sufficient.

Hello @Damien_V,
Thanks for the reply.
If possible is there an example or a tutorial video for JWT authentication that I can follow or look at so that I can proceed?

Also in your opinion, what is the best way to integrate Qlik sense app with website?
