Recently we upgraded our server to QV12SR2. When I check out QVS Event log, I notice that there are many warnings with the message below:
"Warning QVGeneral: MetaService - HasAccess: Empty User has found. Access deny into document <Path to QVW>"
Anyone have any idea what is this warning about? We don't have this before the upgrade.
Hello,
Typically this warning refers to an event where an unauthorized user attempts to open a QVW file from the AccessPoint.
Hope this helps,
Chip
This error refers to an unauthenticated or unauthorized user trying to get access to a Qlikview document from the Accesspoint. The line should look something like this:
500 Warning System: MetaService - HasAccess: Empty User has found. Access deny into document Sandbox\TEST.qvw
QVWS wasn't able to authenticate the user (basically prove they say who they say they are) which denied them access to the document they were trying to access, in the above exmaple, TEST.QVW. I would take a look at your QVWS settings in the QMC under QMC > System > Setup > expand QVWS > Authentication, it should be set to Always, this will keep unauthenticated users (anonymous) users from being able to access your Accesspoint and QVWs. It would also be a good idea to check with your users to make sure everyone is accessing QVWs through the Accesspoint and not using a link directly to the QVW which may bypass the authentication portion of getting access to the document.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,

Hello - did you ever find out what this warning message meant? I'm currently seeing it in QV12.1 SR4

Thank you, but is there a way to find out what the user's name is?
If the QlikView Server Events log is set to High Verbosity, it should log the user who attempted to access the QVW.
I attached the log to the case. I don't see a user name, do you? The message is confusing because of the wording. "Empty User has found"..?
Hi Khim,
We have the same error
!how do I see the High Verbosity settings in QVW, if it is configured?
The log entries would be in the QlikView Server Events log.
