Qlik Alerting on Windows – Bug Summary (New Issues & SSO Fix Recap)

zolbae — Thu, 22 May 2025 14:29:47 GMT

In working with Qlik Alerting for Windows, I’ve encountered several issues.
Here’s a categorized summary, including:

1 newly discovered issue with core config
1 new issue with SSO in SR2
Previously known SSO & extension issues

✅ [1] Newly Discovered – Core Config Issue ❗ CSRF Token API Error (Missing Port When Using Non-Default HTTPS Port)

From Qlik Sense Nov 2024, CSRF token validation is required
Alerting now supports this (see doc: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Qlik-Alerting-403-errors-after-upgrading-to-Qlik-Sense-November/ta-p/2503902)
However, if you use a non-default port (e.g., 8443), CSRF token fetch fails with 403
Debugging server.js shows the CSRF token URL omits the port

✅ [2] SSO Integration – Issues (1 New + 2 Previously Documented)

Full breakdown of earlier issues here:
https://community.qlik.com/t5/Reporting-Service-Alerting/Issue-and-Solution-for-SSO-Integration-between-Qlik-Sense/td-p/2506735

🆕 (New in SR2) Test Connection Error in SSO Mode

Appears in SR2 only – SR1 behaves correctly
When clicking “Test Connection”, result shows:
"Invalid SSO URL. Please contact your administrator."
Yet actual login works fine

✅ Workarounds:

Modify the MongoDB config manually under qlikalerting > source
Or: Use Basic Auth → Save → Switch to SSO mode → Save again

📌 Previously Identified Issues

In qaw_sso.html, getQlikURL() parses URL based on /sense → should use /content
Port is missing in constructed URL → breaks non-default port configs

✅ [3] Extension Bug (Previously Noted)

request.js in qlik-alerting-extension.zip includes a getQlikURL() function with no port in result
This function works contextually in /sense, so no immediate issue there
Likely reused in SSO code without necessary adjustments

If you’ve faced any of these issues, I’d appreciate your input or confirmations in the comments.
And if any Qlik engineers see this:
Can these be tracked as formal bugs or passed to engineering?

Thanks for reading!

I'm still encountering the same issue my Qlik Sense version is November 2024 release. My current Qlik Alerting version is November 2024 SR2.
I've already submitted a case with Qlik Support.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a resolution?

Thank you for doing what I should have done.
Looking at it again, the 2024 Nov sr2 version seems completely unusable.
This is because it's a version that absolutely cannot be used without modification on sites that change operating ports or use virtual proxies.

thanks!
