Virtual Proxy JWT -> attributes to Qliksense

lroofthooft — Thu, 15 Nov 2018 07:45:47 GMT

Hi All,

we have configured our QlikSense with a Virtual Proxy for all customers authenticating over JWT .

this all works ...recently we had the language added to the JSON payload , I'm now looking into pickung up that Language into the scripts for the load editor..

I added JWT attribute Mapping ... I cannot find back any detail documentation on how to incorporate that Qliksense attribute into my load scripts (to alter output to the required language)

in the online help , i can find info on setting up virtual proxy (that works) , under authentication , the last property is about JWT attibure mapping , saying

" Click Add new attribute to map JWTattributes to Qlik Sense attributes. If the name value is enclosed in brackets, that value is used as a constant attribute value: [example] gives the constant attribute value 'example'.

any help appreciated

Luc

Hi,

For JWT configuration you have to use same deomain id, username whatever used in signature otherwise it throws an error.

Thanks

Authentication over JWT works . I only need to language as from the JSON payload beenig mapped form the JWT to QLiksense, trying by adding a mapping into the virtual proxy but no succes picking up the content on the qliksense side .

e.g. this is a sample payload

{
"name": "abc abc",
"userId": "abc.abc",
"email": "info@example.com",
"language": "en",
"roles": [],
"exp": 1542274800
}

i then added a mapping to the VP , JWT attribute 'language' to Qliksense attribute 'USER_ISO_LANGUAGE' , as then to use that in a sql where clause in the load editor .

thanks

Hi ,

the authentication is working , we only extended the payload with 'language', i now want that 'language' to be available for my data load editor (script) so i can dynamiccaly load SQL with a where clause .

hence i mapped the attribute in the VP , thinking the VP would handover the JWT language to the qliksense USER_ISO_LANGUAGE , i however cannot call it back form the data_load_editor ...

Documentation is very poor about attribute mappings in JWT. I've found somewhere information that mapped attributte (USER_ISO_LANGUAGE) is available as user.environment.USER_ISO_LANGUAGE in security rules.

I still cannot figure it out how to make a basic thing, how to set username. I've tried to pass name in payload, map name as userName in attribute mapping, bu it doesn't work 😞
