Qlik Sense: How to make a virtual proxy else than Central Proxy the default

[Damien_V]

The central proxy virtual proxy cannot be deleted and virtual proxy prefix are unique per proxy.

Environments:

• Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows 

Resolution:

In order to change to remove the prefix for a different virtual proxy to use another authentication method by default:

1. in the QMC, go to "Virtual proxies" > "Central proxy (default)"
2. Modify the virtual proxy prefix to the desired string
3. Click "Apply" in order to save
4. Go back to "Virtual proxies", double-click on the virtual proxy that you want to make default in order to edit it.
5. Remove the virtual proxy prefix
6. Click "Apply" in order to save

Note: If the virtual proxy made default is using SAML authentication, the SAML Assertion Consumer Service URL will also need to be updated in the Identity Provider configuration.

Hi,

This isn't working for me.
I have an environment with two machines where we configured oidc-authentication by adding a new v-proxy with a prefix. It will load balance to both machines and is linked to both proxy-services. All three v-proxies have unique cookie names.

When adding a prefix to the two initial default v-proxies and removing the prefix from the newly created oidc-v-proxy the checkmark for "default" is checked and dimmed. The v-proxy overview is also showing Yes for the initial default and No for the v-proxy w.o. a prefix. The dimmed checkbox indicate that it has a function but it can't be unchecked and it is missing for any new v-proxy.
Bug or WAD?

Hi,

This isn't working for me either.

I add a prefix to the default proxy, updated session cookie header name and the description on the default proxy.

Then created another Virtual proxy using SAML authentication, kept the prefix empty.

I have tried restarting the services and still no luck. 

I am attaching a snapshot.

Any tip on how to switch the default NTLM based authentication virtual proxy to a SAML based authentication virtual proxy ?
