avidary_qlik — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 11:43:45 GMT

This article aims to demonstrate how to connect AD users to a Qlik Replicate instance installed on Linux.

Prerequisites

The Linux Qlik Replicate server IP (obtained through, for example, ifconfig)
The server password of the Linux box
Qlik Replicate installed as per: How to install Qlik Replicate on Linux and set up browser access

Preparation Steps:

Install Qlik Replicate on a Microsoft Windows machine.
When prompted to Select the Replicate Server that the Qlik Replicate Console will work with select
Connect to a remote Linux Replicate Server
Add the Linux machine IP and change the port if not using the default one
Review the data:
Finish the installation process.
Once completed, open the Windows Services app
Verify that the installation only installed Qlik Replicate Ui server
Open a command prompt (CMD) as administrator and run:

cd C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\bin
In this directory, run:

repctl SETSERVERPASSWORD <same Linux server password>
Restart the Qlik Replicate UI server
Open the Qlik Replicate console
License the product
Log in with your windows credentials. You are now connected to the Linux Qlik replicate server as a local admin

Adding AD users

We suggest handling user roles in Activity Directory on the security group level rather than individual roles. This allows for better governance and is generally considered a good practice.

For instance, you can add four groups:

Admins
Operators
Viewers
Designers

And then add your desired users to these specific groups.

In the Qlik Replicate Console, switch to the Server view and open the User permission tab
Click + Add
You can either add a domain user or a domain group (Domain\user or Domain\group)
Click OK
The new user/group will be added to the User/Group list.
To test, open an incognito browser and log in with the required authorized AD user.
You are connected to the Linux box with AD user.

Thanks and regards

Hello @mariaakash

This article documents the use of Active Directory users. The user is created in your Active Directory, not in Qlik Replicate. The password is also set in Active Directory, not in Qlik Replicate. Please contact your Windows Administrator for details on how to manage your active directory user accounts.

As for switching the account you log in to Qlik Replicate: If your browser is set up automatically log in with the logged in Windows users, then it will do so. If you are not prompted to enter a username and password, configure your browser not to automatically log you in.

All the best,
Sonja
