Have you checked the help on the server? It says:

Security

On the Security tab, the settings for authentication, authorization, communication, and cluster license can be managed.

Authentication

Clients

It is possible to select whether the QlikView Server (QVS) should use Windows authentication, when possible, or not. To configure the type of authentication, select one of the following options:

•Always Anonymous, meaning that anonymous communication is forced.

•Allow Anonymous (default), meaning that authentication is used whenever possible.

•Prohibit Anonymous, meaning that authentication is forced.

Note! Make sure that this selection is consistent with any other security setting that may be specified in the virtual directories of the web server. For example, if the Microsoft IIS allows anonymous communication, but the QlikView Server does not, the client user will get an error message when trying to open the application through the virtual directory.

thanks for the reply...yeah i read this but i dont quite get it... what exactly happens authentication is forced ? means user will be asked to login with windows credentails ? or will it use NTLM ? always anonymous means it doesn't even check user credentials ?
