In order to enable multiple users for the Qlik Web Connectors, the following parameter needs to be changed on the deploy.config file.

The default storage of this file is: C:\QlikWebConnectors

<Authentication> <Type>FormsAuthentication</Type> </Authentication>

Find attached a deploy.config file already configured to enable multiple users.

Default users:

Alternative use:

The current connector implementation only allows one connector endpoint per user.

Example with sharepoint365:

QWC User 1	https://company1.sharepoint.com/
	https://test.sharepoint.com/

For this example, QWC User 1 would only be able to create one connection to one of the sharepoint services.

By enabling multiple users it's possible to work around this limitation, as shown here:

QWC User 1	https://company1.sharepoint.com/
QWC User 2	https://test.sharepoint.com/

Note: Active connections will no longer work when multiple users are enabled.
