Implementing Entra ID for Authentication and Authorization in QlikView

[Sahal]

Hi,

Currently, we have an on-premises QlikView solution that utilizes standard Active Directory (LDAP) authentication and authorization for user and group access.

While we are planning to migrate to our company’s Azure tenant, we will be transitioning to Entra ID as the sole identity provider, meaning all users and groups will be stored there.

Despite researching this topic, I have not been able to find relevant documentation or solutions. Since migrating to Qlik Cloud or Qlik Sense Enterprise—both of which offer native integration with Entra ID—is not an option for us, I am seeking guidance on how to establish authentication and authorization with Entra ID in our current setup.

Is there any official documentation available, or has anyone successfully implemented this integration?

Hi,

Thank you, is this supported by Qliktech? looks like 10 year old examples?

Hi Sahal,

no, it's not supported by Qlik, but looks to be based on their documentation which will take the SAML assertation and turns it into a ticket request using node.js which QlikView will understand.
