SSO link with QV

[#1]

Hi,

We are using QV 10  server with Windows NT user authentication method. Now we wants to link our QV with existing SSO.

I provide qv accesspoint link and list of users with password in excel sheet to our development team. But they ask one simple question as

"how to pass username and password with QV link?". As I don't know any other programming language, I can't answer them?

Is here any one to help me? How to pass qv user and password with QV access point link..?

Kindly suggest..

Thanks in advance,

Karthik

Hi Karthik,

What SSO solution are you guys using? Own development or an existing solution?

There are a number of ways to set up SSO with QlikView depending on what you want to integrate with.

As ong as there is a web front end to integrate with you should either use Header authentication (if you have a SSO solution that supports this, SiteMinder for example). The user will authenticate in the SSO system which then injects the authenticated user in a header for the QV accesspoint request.

Otherwise WebTickets would be the way to go where you need to write a code snippet to get a session ticket for the user coming from the authentication system you use. If you search the forums for WebTicket examples you should find some information on how to set this up.

Thanks Johannes,

We are using our own developed SSO.

I will check with webtickets examples. Do you have any sample coding?

Hi,

I have to call .aspx page (on server 2)  from .aspx page (on server 1) passing QVUSER with http header.

I tried to use Response.Redirect but all the http header are cleared before executing the statement.

How can I achieve it in a asp.net portal ?

I need to pass the user identity to QVWS.

Please let me know.

Many Thanks

Best regards
