New to Qlik Sense

[gmenoutis]

I have installed QS on my company's server. I can successfully login to hub/devhub/qmc using the root admin created during the installation process.

Then, I set up a user directory connector to an active directory. This got me the needed users visible in qmc.

Then, I went to "Licences and tokens" and allocated a license to a specific user . It now shows Status "Allocated".

Then, I went to users and added RootAdmin to this user as role (afterwards, in my desperation, I also added ContentAdmin, DeploymentAdmin and SecurityAdmin).

Despite these steps, I am unable to use this new user to login to any of hub/devhub/qmc ( I get the username-password input box reappear, as though I input something wrong), while the original user works properly.

I am using a Windows 10 desktop PC as client, and the server is Windows Server 2012. I am using Chrome to login. As a username, I have tried gm (the userid seen in qmc), DOMAIN\gm, and gm@DOMAIN.

I have thoroughly searched around for solutions, and I have tried everything that was present in this post, to no avail. There is no file at all in %Programdata%/qlik/sense/proxy.

Could you please give me a hand?

here you will have to put windows credentials of system you are accessing this link on.

Make sure that these credentials are correct.

I think you should move the Qlik Sense Server from WorkGroup to Domain first as I said above.

Andrea is correct, from the Qlik Sense help:

Default authentication module

After a default installation of Qlik Sense, the Qlik Sense Proxy Service (QPS) includes a module that handles authentication of Microsoft Windows users. The module supports the use of Kerberos and NTLM.

If you want to use Kerberos authentication, you need to make sure that browsers that are used to access the Qlik Sense are configured to support Kerberos.

The default authentication module requires that the proxy that handles the authentication is part of the Microsoft Windows domain.

I'll need time to test/correct this, but it seems this is the case. Hope I won't have to return. Thanks!

Excellent, hope this sorts the issues!

Best Regards

I would like to add that after installing the server, and thus the proxy, on the domain of the active directory, indeed everything worked. Thank you all very much!
