Qlik Cloud iFrames

DanielN — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 12:57:35 GMT

Hello everyone,

We want to integrate the worksheets/diagrams from our Qlik report into the website so that customers have the opportunity to test individual diagrams and selections.
Is it possible to perform such tests without being a Qlik user and without logging in?
iFrames do not work without logging in.
The best solution would be to integrate it into an HTML script.
I would be very happy to hear other suggestions too.

Thanks in advance

Daniel

Hi @DanielN

I'm assuming these will be embedded in a part of a public website where there is no authentication, rather than into a customer portal where users will already be logged into?

If you wish to avoid a user logging in, you'll need to use JWT to emulate the embedded login: https://qlik.dev/embed/iframe/quickstart/embedding-with-anonymous-access-and-qlik-cloud/, this example uses an iframe once auth'd.

Hi @Dave_Channon ,

Thank you for the suggestion.
Yes, you're right, it will be embedded in a part of a public website without authentication.
Are there probably other alternatives?

Hi @DanielN

Not many alternatives at the moment. In your web app you could create on-the-fly users in an OIDC IdP and use OAuth to auth to the tenant, but it's functionally the same as the JWT example in terms of requiring implementation work on your side. In the future we aim to offer an in-product solution for allowing anonymous access to content in a tenant, but work hasn't yet started on this.

This URL is broken. Is there a new location for the example?

Hi @csnay we have a dedicated anonymous offering that works with our primary embedding framework, and this has replaced iframe approaches of the past. See https://qlik.dev/embed/qlik-embed/quickstart/qlik-embed-anonymous-tutorial/
