Hi,

You can get more details here : http://community.qlik.com/message/85314#85314

But I believe you would need session cals or an information access server ( not user or document cals)

Then, the option at QEMC->System->Setup->Qlikview server->Security->authentication client option into "Allow anonymous" or "Always anonymous" would work

Regards,

Erich

I'm sorry but I can't read the infromation on the error box. One thing I forgot to point out is you have to have session Cals to do this. User Cals can't be anonymous.

Check you license and see if you have any session Cals

NUMBER_OF_SESSIONCALS;5;;

Hi Lixiaowei,

I have gone back and tested the instructions in the document to have sure they still work and they do. The screen shots you added does show me if you have session Cals are not. Below is what I am looking for

Also, not sure if you are using publisher or not, but either way you need to set the User type to "All Users" either when you do a distribution or under User Documents > File name.qvw >Authorization tab in the QEMC

Bill,

We are using QV11 Sr2 with IIS7 as follows:

1. We have our own web app that previously employed the IE plugin. Our security model is coupled with our application (user authentication)

2. We previously have switched to AJAX for intranet based access only (Using Ajax in a local intranet)

3. We would prefer to use anonymous authentication which we have set in IIS7

4. For the QvAjaxZfc IIS 7 application we set Authentication to anonymous and set QMEC web server to Authentication=Never.

5. When we attempt to open a document using http://SERVERNAME/QvAJAXZfc/opendoc.htm?document=something.qvw&userid=UID:0 we get "Failed to authenticate" click OK and the document opens. If we enable Windows Authentication we are prompted for a use/password. What's the trick to allow true anonymous access (I have set the QVW documents folder so that IUSR has permissions as well)

Thanks

To allow anonymous access you want to have Session Cals. You can config, but without this license you´ll not have sucess.

I have session cals. When we used the IE plugin this was not an issue, since we started using the Ajax Client its started.

IEPlugin is only available with QVSBE and QVEE. IAS and Extranet Server only work with Ajax.

I figured out why the Authenticate/Login screen kept popping up. If I add the url parameter anonymous=true The login prompt is supressed . We really do want to use anonymous at this point since our app is intended for intranet based environment and not open to the internet. So the final AJAX Url we use within our Web App to open a document is:

http://<HostName>/QvAJAXZfc/opendoc.htm?document=<DcoNme.qvw>&anonymous=true&userid=<USERID>

HiBill Britt

Can you please explain to me how the Session Cals work? I mean if you have 5 Session cals then only 5 anonymous access are allowed simultaneously? If so, what happen when a sixth anonymous access occurs while still are the last five active? And how do we assign these Session Cals? The manual doesn't explain this clearly.

would appreciate your advise.

You have to check your license

I think only IAS may use anonymous authentication
