Qlik Sense: the Port Number is specified in the SP Metadata file URL

The issue is in the XML code generated by the "Download SP metadata" option on the Virtual Proxy menu when working with SAML integration.
When the XML file is downloaded, it adds the prot number to the URL for "AssertionConsumerService" location.
The port number specification (generally, :443) can be annoying, because it is necessary to manually delete the it in order to make the URL work with the SSO (Single Sign On).

This can be easily reproduced:

  1. You need a virtual proxy with SAML authentication.
  2. Go to QMC>Virtual proxies and select the virtual proxy with SAML.
  3. Click on Download SP Metadata and open the XML file.
  4. The URL in "AssertionConsumerService"> "Location" specifies the port, generally :443.

 

Environment

  • Qlik Sense, all supported releases.

 

Cause

This is an expected behavior. Qlik needs to add the service listen port for HTTPS in case it is other than the default 443. This is especially valid with the recent releases that allow configuring that value in the installer, as the below image shows.

Resolution

It is necessary to remove the port number manually in case the URL is needed to access the SSO.
