access QVW file with qvp:// link

[vivienchen]

Hi,

I can open my QVW file from Access Point, by selecting IE Plugin, but cannot open it by directly using link qvp://localhost/myApp.qvw,  can anyone tell me how is that?

Hi, where are you using that link? in an action of a button?

Try setting server name or IP instead of 'localhost'

Hi  Rubenmarin

Thanks for your reply,  I'm on the server, that is why I use localhost instead of server name/IP.

I still need answer for the question to try to understand what's happenning: where are you using that link? in an action of a button, link on a table? wich error it returns?

AFAIK the qvp-protocol is used to open an application on the server with the desktop client and therefore your approach shouldn't work. Just look with the IE plugin on the url-design of your application - you may change them to another application and store the url within an external link / bookmark / a QV button - and if the url is valid it should work to open an application with it directly (I'm not sure if it's worked (with a re-direction) if you don't use SSO for the authentication).

I concur with Marcus in his comment regarding authentication/authorization, as if the Server is not using NTLM as the Authorization security setting, then things will not work, as you first have to get the correct credentials via the AccessPoint.aspx page call which is ensuring credentials are captured.  The only way to do a direct QVP://Server URL is if the server is able to digest your logged on credential on your machine.  

Also, Localhost will not work on many servers due to group security policies being applied prohibiting its use, so would also follow Ruben's recommendation of using the server name or IP address to ensure you are not hitting that issue.  Best I can offer with the information you have provided.

The only other way to do things is to pass in the credentials as part of the URL:
