EDX when running in Web is not using the user ID

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

I’m running EDX in web. It’s work in my local host. But when I deployed in the server. The user iD is changing to Web server ID when running EDX. I’m getting this Authorization failed since it’s not using my ID once the EDX execute is called. Any Idea?

The windows authentication is turned ON for this page.

ReloadviaEDX
Error: Authorization failed for user "Domain\Servername" required access level is QlikViewEDXMessage:

Web.Config

I tried using this code below but it doesn't work as well.

Client.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential.UserName = '"MyName"

Client.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential.Password ="Password"

Hi milanplay,

Is your user running the reload via EDX a member of Qlikview EDX user group on your Qlikview Server? This is a prerequisite for EDX.

Kind Regards,

Hi Footsie,

I'm running using my ID. If i set the config file as imporsonate to my ID, it's working. And if i'm running in my local machine it's working too.

Once I deploy in the server, if i don't use the imporsonate it does not work.

EDX is not using my own id.

Milan

I've found the solution for this issue;

In IIS APP Pool. Set the Identity of the user as system account which has access in Qlikview EDX.
