Security breach in Header Authentication ?

Hi Techies,

I am trying to implement header authentication and I read that it is like back-door into your system

Make sure to only use it under the following circumstances:

  • Use only between systems that can fully trust each other.
  • Use only in combination with a firewall, proxy or routing solution.
  • Use only in a development environment.

I already have one default proxy which has TICKET BASED AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM  with Windows Active directory as user identity management system.

Now I am trying to use HEADER AUTH for such users which can't be part of my local windows active directory ?

Can you please help me to understand is there any way to breach Qlik security in header authentication, consequences , side affects as few conditions are strictly defined on Qlik help page ?

Thanks,

Rohit
