Qlik-embed - Windows authentication pop up

bbest — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 20:30:42 GMT

Hi, we are trying to integrate a Qlik app into our site using qlik-embed. Our app loads correctly, but a Windows authentication popup appears on initial load. I can close the popup without entering credentials and the app still loads, but ideally would like to prevent this popup coming up in the first place.

This is our qlik-embed script:

<script

crossorigin="anonymous"

type="application/javascript"

src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@qlik/embed-web-components@1/dist/index.min.js"

data-auth-type="windowscookie"

data-host="https://qlik-apex.test.fraedom-cloud.com/jwt-visa"

></script>

I've tried a couple of other data-auth-type (cookie, anonymous) but this didn't make a difference.

I've attached screenshots of our virtual proxy setup (jwt-visa).

What is the best way to resolve this? Thank you 🙂

Hey @bbest , you are using a JWT VP, and this is fine, but how you are authenticating the user with your JWT signed token?

Your qlik-embed script seems ok, but I'm missing the part where you are injecting the token and get the cookie. When this is done as initial step, then you can inject qlik-embed which will leverage the cookie set by your authentication process. We usually get a Qlik resource attaching jwt token for getting authenticated and this will set the cookie in the browser.

Windows pop-up means that qlik-embed is trying to get some resources from Qlik but these calls are not authenticated (and propably qlik-embed is not pointing to your JWT VP).

Could you please tell me which on-prem version you are using?

This seems like a tricky login issue to solve
Popups like this can confuse website users
It is good that the app still loads but the popup is not ideal
Hopefully there is a clean way to handle auth without it

For on-prem the embedding for intranet is just a link to the visualization - will need an extra piece (server in the DMZ) for an internet site and anonymous access.

Lots of influences effect load times but fast for a single KPI and longer for a table worth of data etc…

I don’t see the bill so no help on pricing sorry.
