Qlik doesn't authenticate the user.  Instead, Qlik Sense always asks an external system to verify who the user is and if the user can prove it. The interaction between Qlik Sense and the external identity provider is handled by authentication modules.  

After loading the users into Qlik Sense, the next step is to create a virtual proxy and setup a authentication module to allow the external authentication system to identify the users.

Hi Rohit, 

Thanks for the guidance, Actually we are trying to test some qlik features and do not want to use  auth module. 

Also we do not want to use anonymous user for testing. Is there any way we can authenticate test users . Once we are done with the testing we can deploy auth module.
