topic SSO from external server javascript app in QlikView

SSO from external server javascript app

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

We have a small angular app on an external/ remote server which displays a series of QlikSense objects using a setup similar to GitHub - erikwett/helpdesk-angular: Qlik Sense mashup example using AngularJS‌, but the app requires that the user has already logged into the QlikSense Server before opening the app and we would prefer an SSO solution.

We have a different app which automatically obtains a URL token (authorized by certificate) with PHP/cURL and displays the QlikSense objects in iframes. How would we proceed to use SSO authentication in the angular app? Is it possible to somehow add a token parameter to the initialization of the angular app?

This is an excellent walk through / setup document on hosting a mashup on an external server using ticketing to provide the SSO auth:

The "trick" is that your initial entry point has to be a redirect stub html file on the Sense server, rather than the mashup server. Credit to Jeffrey Goldberg for the technique.
