Password encryption

[#1]

Hello,

I'm trying to implement data level security in Qlikview and found the option of section access. It is great but our internal security team is not allowing us to implement as the passwords are exposed without any encryption even though we keep it within hidden sheets. Is there any way we can apply encryption to the passwords so no one can look at it? Also we cannot use AD accounts and we have to use application user id. Any help here is appreciated.

Thanks

You can create an QV only with the sectian access and the data for the usr and password, and others QV read as binary this.

In this form, you don't show the data for the users

Can you explain this in little more detail?

Why can't you use AD accounts for security ?

These are temporary store associates and our network team doesn’t want to create so many AD which are very temporary in nature.

you can load the section access from an external source, a .qvw as Enrique already suggeted, a database table

[MarcoWedel]

Put the section access code in the password protected hidden script.

See this example.

Enter with ADMIN/ADMIN

And this QVW is the binary input for the others QV

You may load the access-conditions into a textfile, which might be stored in a directory, to which only the server has access (via NT).

Thus - inside the hidden script - you would have only the reference to this file via the INCLUDE-command.
