Custom Users

[edandurova]

Anyone ever worked with Custom Users setup in v9? Maybe there is a white paper somewhere that you can share with me with regard to the settings in QEMC to make Custom Directory work?

I was somewhat successful in 8.50 except for the smooth transition between custom user and that special distribution account. Login to the Access Point was successful. I expected Publisher to seemlessly login a custom user (role) into our system through the designated ID but no matter which combination of access settings I used, Publisher kept asking me for Windows Authentication on document open.

I was told that in version 9 this process was supposed to be easier. Now I even can't get the documents to display - could be my being new to the super duper environment that comes with version 9 though...

I would greatly appreciate any reference/document/suggestion regarding distribution of QVWs to custom users, even if it's for 8.50

Uncapped server license, publisher license with a single distribution service (XS), v 9.0.7320.7

Thanks,

Evgenia

Hi,

We did a similar thing with QV 8.5. We basically made our own call to QVS to get a ticket for a user and passed that ticket when opening the report. I'm not sure how to do it with QV9 (just installed SR3 and started looking at it).

With qv8.5, you can connect as an admin and request a ticket with a username only, if that user has DMS permissions he can see the report. It's also possible to manage the DMS permissions using the same API calls (basically sending xml to QVS)

I tried this but when accessing the qlikview server with internetexplorer from a computer with an other domain name is still get a popscreen for the user account and there is no way it accepts my custom users

If i access it from the localhost machine i first get the anonymous page and have to clik on login to go to the login.htm.

I would like to go directly to the login.htm page from the local host and the machine on the other domain.

"I would like to go directly to the login.htm page from the local host and the machine on the other domain."

Change the Login Login address from /qlikview/login.htm to the full URL, like http://myqvs.company.com/qlikview/login.htm. See if that helps

Very helpful summary. I would add that (to successfully complete the "DMS authentication") it is necessary to indicate at the "document level" the enabled users

Do anybody knows if Group Authorization can be used with Custom Groups using the Custom Directory. It does not seem to work. It only works with Custom Users. I am using DMS Mode.

It doesn't work, bye.

These steps are very helpful.

I do have a question though - I don't have the AccessPoint tab where I am supposed to change the authentication to "Login".

Any ideas why I don't have that tab?

Hi Bjom,

I followed all the steps you mentioned & I was able to login with custom user as well. But the problem I'm facing currently is; I'm not able to see any of the dashboards. Can you please advise on this?

We are using QVS 11.
