Qlikview access in Dual mode (DMS & NTFS)

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi All,

Hope you all doing well

I have a scenario where I have to use the authorization of access point to the users

1) Those are the part of Active Directory (Same domain) and,

2) Users which are not the part of same directory i.e. from custom directory.

At a same time.

Is it possible and how?

Thanks,

Keerthy

Thanks for your reply Deepak. Its a good document you have shared.

What type of authorization mode you are using for this setup?

As my assumption that you are using custom directory then that must be DMS.

So, if its DMS then can we leverage the AD (windows authentication) in the mode.

Thanks in advance.

hi Keerthy,

Yes it can leverage AD.

The NTFS and DMS is used majorly for controling the security of the files(who should see which files)

If NTFS the authorized users are added by right clicking the folder/file and go i to security and add the users name.

In DMS the authorized users are added in the user document tab(QMS) under authorization tab.

I hope you got my point.

HI gopi,

I didn't get you. In this case you need to webservers. But only DMS mode will be helpful

Two webserver are created so that we can redirect users to different pages.

eg: User from Local NT will have URL like http:\\ipaddress\qlikview

and Customer user will have the link to the Login page.

I hope this what you meant.

Hi Deepak,

So if I put QV Server on DMS authorization mode.

And in Directory server Connectors

For Active directory: LDAP address

For Custom directory: add custom user

Therefore, in case of server1 Directory server Connectors will point to Active directory,

And in case of server2 Directory server Connectors will point to Custom Directory.

Is it correct?

Thanks

Yes.

if you view the slide 9. In that on the second web server we are changing the authentication to login and we are adding the URL of login page to it.

Anothe rimportant point is to provide URL to users based on their directory server.

For eg : for NT user you will provide http:\\ipaddress\qlikview

and for Customer user it would be http:\\ipaddress\qlikview\Login.htm

HI Umesh,

YOu server might be small buisness server. IN SBS the DMS mode is disabled.

For seeing the document go to folder where the files are located. Right click the folder and go to security and in security add everyone or add the username.

This should work.

Hii Deepak,

I have a few question related to your post,please help me

1.can we use the same licenses in both the servers or we have to apply different licenses

2.and how to assign licenses to the users i.e can we assign the licenses to the custom user and windows user from the same server (in the case of same Licenses) or have to assign from different server(in the case of Diff Licenses)

You would have to have a license for each server. You would also have to assign the license to the user on the server they will be connectiong to.

Hi Deepak,

NTFS mode will be use for same domain and DMS mode is use when we need to provide access to external users/domain.

How can we use both mode at a time provided we have 2 web servers??

Re: Qlikview access in Dual mode (DMS & NTFS)

You would need two QVS servers to run this.
