Section Access vs SSO

raju_salmon — Thu, 07 Sep 2017 10:06:23 GMT

Hello Experts,

Recently SSO have been implemented to give access to external users, however external used have separate username than their Windowslogin. This user name contains no Domain.

How can we implement section access? if not NTNAME how we can manage this with UseName as users can changes their password to login SSO.

Just confusing how Qlik authenticates the username to restrict the data. Anyone can help me on this?

Thanks.

Will you look in google to get into work. Because, Community has number of thread about section access.

But, We are not sure how you done in SSO to get credentials ...

Authentication doesn't really have to happen using Section Access. If you don't use the USERID/PASSWORD mechanism, authentication is always done outside of Section Access by whatever system you chose to use.

If you don't want to use AD to identify users, you can use a CUSTOM directory, either in QMC or in a set of database tables.
