Q&A:

Q: Is there any difference between anonymous users access and ad-hoc generated anonymous users?

A: Ad-hoc generated anonymous users was a way to “simulate” anonymous user access before the anonymous user feature was implemented. It’s using JWT authentication to generate on the fly random username and make it seem as it’s anonymous.

Q: We have Entra Id IDP, could this work instead of JWT?

A: No, SharePoint blocks the redirection to log in to Entra Id when it’s embedded.

Q: Is this also possible to embed Qlik Answers with an iFrame? And if yes what needs to be prepared on Qlik Cloud and on SharePoint?

A: This is a relatively new offering, but it is possible. There are two methods for embedding Qlik Answers Assistant: 1. Using Qlik Embed and 2. Full code integration using Qlik APIs. Here is a Qlik Community post with more information

Q: Is this SharePoint embedding possible on on-prem (Client-Managed) version?

A: Yes. The basic principle is actually pretty similar. You would have to set up a virtual proxy, and all the things around that to actually embed into SharePoint. You have a bit more option when it comes to the authentication part; which you have Ticket, you have Header, and then you have JWT and Anonymous also.
