Nprinting Ondemand report generation failed

[sasikumar]

Hi Qlikers,

im having error on Ondemand Report Feature.

so I have few question on Ondemand Report.

1 , Does Ondemand Reporting feature must need  CA Certificate to be installed in Qlik Nprinting and Qlik Sense server ?

if need can we use internal CA  or 3rd party Trusted Root CA.

2, Internet Explorer has full compatibility with Ondemand feature or with few bugs.

3, What are the best Internet Options settings need to work with Ondemand Feature.

Thanks,

Sasikumar

Hi,

In the image with errors you attached the rows related to Qlik NPrinting On-Demand are green. Red rows are related to something else. Please try with another web browser to check if it is something related to IE.

About the certificates you can check:

- https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/June2019/Content/NPrinting/DeployingQVNprinting/Installing-ssl...

- https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/June2019/Content/NPrinting/On-Demand/Create-Report-On-Demand.h...

so you can use a certificate not from a CA authority.

Best Regards,

Ruggero

@Ruggero_Piccoli, i have installed internal CA in nprinting server.

Now its working fine in google chrome but in IE not working.

In IE, I can create Ondemand report but nothings happens when i click download button on report section

i checked in developer mode, 

SEC7111: HTTPS security is compromised by res://ieframe.dll/forbidframing.htm

SEC7111: HTTPS security is compromised by res://ieframe.dll/errorPageStrings.js

SEC7111: HTTPS security is compromised by res://ieframe.dll/httpErrorPagesScripts.js

refer screenshot which i attached in previous comment(red lines)/

SEC7111 - mixed content error

i have also enable it IE settings and added in trusted site and allowed some  js to run

still no luck....

Hi,

April 2019 resolves the following issue:

On-Demand works in Chrome and Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer (11 or older) or Edge
In some cases, when you use Qlik NPrinting On-Demand in Internet Explorer 11 or Edge, the custom HTTP header X-XSRF-TOKEN is not generated. The header must be added to match the value in the cookie to allow validation from the proxy.
Using DMS authentication avoids the issue.

If you are using an older issue please upgrade to latest (June 2019).

Best Regards,

Ruggero

Hi,

which on-demand extension are you referring to? That supported by Qlik or this one: https://developer.qlik.com/garden/58be6fc151be1c2744fb32a0?

I'm facing the same problem with the latter, only official extension works fine.

Thanks,

A.

Hi,

We do not support third party tools, so I'm referring to the official Qlik software.

Please note also that this is a very old post so I suggest you to open a new one with the details of your issue. Thanks. 

If you are not using latest version, please also evaluate to upgrade your installation.

Best Regards,

Ruggero

Hi Ruggero,

thanks for your answer! Seems Qlik had the same issue with downloading in IE as in the unofficial extension, but I'm glad it was fixed.

Hi,

just for update on unofficial extension, if you modify "nprinting-sense-on-demand.js" file from:

function downloadTask(conn, taskId) { var requestUrl = conn.server + 'api/v1/ondemand/requests/' + taskId + '/result';

document.getElementById('download').src = requestUrl;
}

To:

function downloadTask(conn, taskId) { var requestUrl = conn.server + 'api/v1/ondemand/requests/' + taskId + '/result';

window.location.href = requestUrl;
}

it will work in IE too.

Said that, it's better to use official extensions ;).

BR,

A
