Qlik Catalog REST API Connectivity with Azure Single Sign-On

[akshaye_c_navale]

Hi Community,

In our Qlik Catalog environment we are using Azure Single Sign-On for SAML authentication.

Can someone please help me how to setup connectivity between Qlik Catalog REST API and Azure Single Sign-On?

Is it possible with SAML authentication?

Thanks,
Akshaye

Hi Akshay,

SAML authentication against Azure AD via APIs when running Catalog under SAML does not work.  Authentication can be implemented for other identity providers, such as Okta, which have publicly available APIs.  Microsoft's APIs are not available.

We reviewed last week with your team an approach for dedicating a Catalog node running under the "podium" authentication exclusively for use with APIs, a similar setup to an HA configuration.  Your security expert shared that he thought it was a solid approach.

I hope this helps.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for update.
Is it on future roadmap to support Azure Single Sign-On for REST API?

Thanks,

OAUTH2 authentication is required and it is not currently on the roadmap.
