LDAP Setup(with AD)

[Anonymous]

Dear Gurus,

we are using Qlikview 11.2 sr8. Currenlly we are using custom authentication and wanted to upgrade to ldap authentication.

Our Qlikview server and and LDAP directory are in 2 different domains .I have added the LDAP directory details under

QMC-->System-->Setup-->DSC--> Active Directory using LDAP string.(ex: LDAP://xxx.direcotry.xx.com)

Authentication is set as NTLM and Authorization is DMS.

Login page is using the option "Alternate Login Page"

with all the above settings , I have given access to a user  and that user is able to access the qlikview dashboard in access point only when he put the user id in access point as domain\username.

if we give only user name(without domain prefix) , he is not able to access the dashboard in access point. getting the login page again.

My query is : How we can avoid using domain prefix to username. / How to make the authentication successful without Domain prefix.

Please suggest.

Best Regards,

Chinna

Dear All,

Finally I have got the solution from below link by Vlad Gutkovsky(Many many thanks Vlad).

Setting a Default Domain with QlikView Web Form Authentication – Infinity Insight Blog

Here is the steps I followed.

In my configuration,under qlikview webserver, I have set the login page as Alternate web page(which will automatically point to formLogin,htm).

I have modified the formLogin.htm to prepend my domain name as suggested by Vlad . So now users do not have to enter domain.

PFA screenshots of my configuration. which may help others.

******Amendment*********Edited on 14th Sep 2015********************************

in the above link solution is provided for only one domain. As in our case we are having 2 domains, I have modified the script to dynamically prepend the domain name based on username entered.(in my scenario, we can determine the domain based on the username type. if user name is numeric it belongs to "ja" domain, if user name is alphabet it belongs to "ma" domain).

Please find the modified script (to be added in formLogin.htm as suggested by Vlad):

<script type="text/javascript">

function PrependDomain(){

   var user = document.loginform.username.value;

if(!isNaN(user.charAt(0)))

{

var domain = "japan";

}

else

{

var domain = "ma";

}

   if (user.toUpperCase().indexOf(domain) > -1){ //domain has already been entered manually (don't append it again)

      return true;

   } else { //domain name has not been entered, append it

      document.loginform.username.value = domain + "\\" + user;

   }

}

</script>

BR,

Chinna.
