proxyRestUri and proxied QS server

dvasseur — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 17:55:05 GMT

I'm playing with external authentication (Google SSO) and noticed that the proxyRestUri il always using the real server hostname, Not the one I've used in my connection URL. Could be annoying because my QS server is proxied through nginx...

For example:

_https://nginx/google <- link to QS virtual proxy 'google'

redirects me to:

_https://qlik-auth/?proxyRestUri=https%3a%2f%2fsrv-vm-qs%3a4243%2fqps%2fgoogle%2f&targetId=0d7b5f6a-b0f5-4721-886c-daf011d798c2

the proxyRestUri should be "proxyRestUri=https%3a%2f%2fnginx%3a4243%2fqps%2fgoogle%2f&targetId=0d7b5f6a-b0f5-4721-886c-daf011d798c2" instead of "srv-vm-qs" which is my real server name

Any idea to fix this ? I couldn't find any option for this in the QMC

Hello,

This is a known product limitation.

The recommendation is to directly hard-code the server name in the authentication module code instead of relying on ProxyRestUri for this use case.
