If you need anonymous authentication, you need a specific Qlik Sense Server license: the QAP. If each user has a Qlik account, you need to setup proper authentication. Try these steps, they might get you closer.
1. Set Up Qlik Sense with Proper Authentication:
- Authentication Mechanism: Ensure that you are using a suitable authentication mechanism that supports seamless access. This could involve Single Sign-On (SSO) or token-based authentication.
- Qlik Sense Proxy: Use Qlik Sense's Virtual Proxy with header authentication to authenticate users via the intranet's identity provider.
2. Embed Qlik Sense Objects in Your Intranet Page:
- Use the Qlik Sense Capability APIs or the Qlik Sense Mashup API to embed visualizations into your intranet application.
- Ensure that the iframe or the embedded object URL includes the necessary authentication tokens or headers.
3. Create Public Sheets or Applications:
- Public Sheet: Make sure the Qlik Sense sheet or app you want to display is set to be publicly accessible if your security policy allows it.
- Data Permissions: Ensure that the data permissions are configured to allow access to the necessary data without logging in.
4. Configure Qlik Sense for Embedded Use:
- Embedding with iframe: Ensure that the URL used in the iframe includes proper access credentials or tokens.
- Mashup Integration: Create a mashup that includes the required visualizations and configure it to handle authentication seamlessly.
Example of Using Qlik Sense Capability APIs:
1. Create a Mashup:
- In the Qlik Sense Management Console (QMC), create a virtual proxy if needed, and configure it to allow header authentication.
- Develop a mashup that uses the Capability APIs to fetch and display the required visualizations.
2. Sample Code for Mashup:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://your-qlik-server/resources/assets/external/requirejs/require.js"></script>
<script>
require.config({
baseUrl: "https://your-qlik-server/resources"
});
require(["js/qlik"], function(qlik) {
var config = {
host: "your-qlik-server",
prefix: "/",
port: "443",
isSecure: true
};
var app = qlik.openApp("your-app-id", config);
app.getObject('QV01', 'your-object-id');
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="QV01"></div>
</body>
</html>
```
Troubleshooting Tips:
- Check Permissions: Ensure that the user or the system accessing the Qlik Sense visualizations has the necessary permissions.
- Network Configuration: Ensure that the intranet page can communicate with the Qlik Sense server without any network restrictions or firewalls blocking the access.
- SSL Certificates: Make sure that any SSL certificates required for secure communication are correctly configured.
I hope this can help you. 🙂
