Access point Access from outside network machine

sridhar_sigired — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Dear All,

If we want to access the access point from out of network machine, whats need to be done? Is there anyway we can connect through public IP, with admin user? Can you please share some information.

Thanks.

If you don't have a static IP create a Dynamic DNS service account, for example: http://no-ip.com.

The provider No-IP have a utitly to translate your public ip to the domain, for example: your_accesspoint.ddns.net

You must Install the tool on the server and run it. Login to your account.

From machine with out your network open web browser and navigate to the created domain. You can see the accesspoint.

Hi Sridhar

It depends What license do you have for Qlik Server? If it is Enterprise all you have to do is point port 80 from your firewall to the Qlik server. alternatively you can refer this below attachment for more information

Let me know if help to you or not?

Thanks

You do not necessarily need to configure a Custom Directory (which won't work with an SBE server). You can get it to work with AD as well (or even a local directory, that's how I did it). However, you'll never have SSO because AD authorizations do not propate over the internet (luckily!). All visitors will be facing a login dialog. And this may pose a serious security risk.

The QlikViews side of this operation is pretty simple. Ist's the newtork side that is tricky and potentially dangerous.

Basically, you'll have to follow these steps:

On the QVS server machine, define the external users that should get external access in the machine domain
In QMC, add a local domain DSP in the DSC configuration (see other comments in this thread)
In QMC, assign Named CALs or Doc CALs to these users.
Distribute your documents to the users that should get external access, or assign NTFS rights.
Configure your network so that external users can visit the Access Point. Contact an Administrator to help you in this.

Best,

Peter
