You need to supply a little more information about your problem.

Essentially enable AD users access the documents on Qlikserver with their AD credentials. I guess this is much clearer, Thanks

That is the default QlikView setup. You have to assign NTFS permission to the QVW's to make this work. If you have a Publisher license Publisher will do that for you once you setup your distribution tasks.

Not sure if that is what you are looking for or not.

Hi Bill,

So sorry if i'm being a pain, the help i need has to do with roles based authentication via Active Directory. Prerequistes, steps, configurations and even where possible screen shots on how i can authenticate the users.

The point is there is nothing to do. QlikView is AD-integrated out of the box. A simple "Next, Next, Next, Finish" install would do it providing you choose a Domain User during the install.

The only steps you might need to perform is if you want to add groups which aren't in the same domain as the server. If if you need to do that then in the QlikView Management Console under the System/Setup tab, expand "Directory Service Connectors", expand your DSC and click on "Active Directory". On the right side list any domains you wish to resolve groups for.

Thanks

Do you have a publisher license or just Server license?

go to qlikview management console -> System - > Setup -> Qlikview Webservers - > Authentication - > Default login page, After this setting when the users open the access-point will be automatically login.

If you do need to configure your AD connection manually, note that the user field should be the NETBIOS-style user name: MYDOMAIN\BSmith.

Dear Britt,

Can you please assist me with below query:

One of my new client want to set up user authentication with AD in Qlikivew.

Clients domain and Server domain are different.

Can you please let me know How would qlilview recognise the users are valid and

how to add groups which aren't in the same domain as the server.?

However the details for the parameters and format required from AD at the application end?

,Does the server/application has to be joined to the domain or it can be configured without?

Simply if I go to QMC->DSC->and add AD LDAP will it connect ?

2) What is user and password ? do I nned tp add individual userid and password?

3) is there any port/firewall issue which can prevent this?

Looking to get assist on this too.

Hi,

To start this on Authentication and Authorization will be a big help for you. Qlik only does authorization and Windows does authentication.

For this to work the two domains will have to have a trust relationship. If you can do that, you will need to do some type of SSO solution and use either ticketing or header files.
