Webservice with Login-Problem

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hi,

I already read some posts referring to different kinds of implementing a connection to a webservice, but I couldn't find anything that really helped me solving my problem.

I want to integrate data from sonar code quality checks into my qlikview application. My problem is that I have to log into sonar itself at first to obtain the xml data using the webservice. When I'm just using the url I get an empty result ( <resources> </resources>).

The result should be something like http://nemo.sonarsource.org/api/resources?resource=org.codehaus.sonar:sonar&depth=-1

Has anyone an idea how I can transmit the username and password?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

this could work:

http://username:password@domain

But it's obviously a security issue..

You could try to pass it as URL parameters (if there are some):

http://domain.com/website?user=me&pass=pass

But I guess this will not work either.

We have o kind of web-data proxy solutions (also good for caching because QlikView needs several requests to query xml sub tables) which handles authentications:

I still have the problem that I have to pass username and password for using the webservice. Any ideas are appreciated
