Triggering EDX

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi everybody !

I'm trying to start a task that have an external event as trigger, using a Rest componenent in Talend.

When i send my request on qtxs.asmx, within the body <Global method="GetTimeLimitedRequestKey" /> ; the response is : 401.

So, I've tried to add header to the request to solve problems of authentication.

I've add header "Authorization" with value "Basic login:password", where login:password is encoded in base64. As specified in the http authentication rfc (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617#page-6).

Always and always a 401 error !

The user is member of QlikView Administrators group, and i run Qlikview Distribution Service v9.

If someone can help me...

Thanks a lot !!

hi,

try to put the user in a new local or ad group named "QlikView EDX", where all users allowed to trigger a EDX Task are kept.

Only different Users NO GROUPS allowed in there.

For my part i trigger the reload via VBS in a QlikView Macro, i was unable to put a password on a task. only empty Passwords are working here.

Hope that help,

Christian

You need to use NTLM authentication; basic authentication will not work.

Hello vhuynh,

thanks a lot for your answer, because indeed Basic authentication doesn't work, but NTLM works fine !
