QlikView consume encrypted data over Internet. What datasource should we build?

We have a lot of data in a database which I want different qlikview implementations to be able to consume.

The data in the MS-SQL database is for several customers and I do not want to let them in directly in the db. I want to have an API where the customer can get their data over SSL and with password protection.

At the same time I want it to be as easy as it can be for the customer to consume the data within their qlikview program.

What would be the best solution for us to build so that the custoemr easily can consume our data from our database and where the data is encrypted and protected?

Hello Andreas, The terms REST, API, and SOAP looks good with Java and Dot Net Application, As you said that you are not familiar with QlikView. Then QlikView is Business intelliegence tool, and here we talk about Cubes, Meta Data, Schemas. As you told you have SQL Server and contains all data which you dont want to show, then Create Schema and give Read permission onTable and Views which you can populate for QliView data. In QLikView share the credentials and Make connection string to connect with SQL Server using ODBC, and Load the data. Again in QlikView you can implement security using section access and restrict the users.

Hope I am able to answer you as per your knowledge.

Thanks

Regards

The problem with using a database and setting that up is to time consuming for us as each customer needs to have it's on view. Alla the data is in the same tables and separetad by customerID's we also don't want to open up our database outside our firewall. Database connections with odbc then the data is not encrypted.
