Why Windows Event log detects Audit Failure entries when logging to Qlik Senes Hub

Request:

Please advise if following detections can be ignored or security concerns.

Tested Environment:

- Qlik Sense (Nov 2017)

- Qlik Sense (Feb 2018)

- Qlik Sense (June 2018)

How to re-produce the issue:

  1. Open Qlik Sense Hub
  2. Login
  3. Go to Windows EventView > Security, check the time when access to Hub you will see entry: Audit Failure.

Client expressed their most concerns about Kerberos detection.

Please note "Kerberos" settings under QMC > Proxies is disabled for reported client.

The Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that was requested. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).

The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on the system requested the logon.

The Network Information fields indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases.

May be this is because of AD Group:

If your AD connection is setup correctly and working then the first time that a user hits your URL they will be prompted to login with their AD credentials.  If successful, then an account is created in QLIK.  If you have a security rule created then a token will be automatically allocated to them.

From that point on they can login and see whatever parts of the HUB they have access to based on security rules.

The fact that their user account shows up in the QMC would lead me to believe that they successfully logged in.

Check this thread:

Active Directory users cannot login

Or else, try to reinstall Qlik Sense and changing the user that start the services, it may helps.
