Support multiple Active Directory Domains in Qlik Catalog Publish to Qlik Sense Interface

The integration between Qlik Catalog and Qlik Sense to publish apps requires the below property to be set in the core_environment.properties  file to select the domain of users to map to in Qlik Sense

qlik.sense.active.directory.name=******

In an environment that has users from multiple domains in their Qlik Sense environment this only allows 1 group of users to be able to publish apps based on there domain. If you are not in the specified domain an error is generated. Ideally this would be changed to allow multiple domains to be configured so that all domain users can utilize this feature.

This feature has been addressed in the May 2020 release.

From the release notes:

Support Publish to Qlik Sense for Users from Different Directories
Jira ID: QDCB-958
A customer may have imported users from multiple directories (domains) into both Qlik Sense and Qlik Catalog.
When "Publish to Qlik Sense" is selected, apps are listed and created/updated using the logged-in Catalog user
(or the user specified in core_env property 'podium.qlik.username'). However, until this release, the property
'qlik.sense.active.directory.name' only supported specifying a single domain. Now, multiple domains may be
specified. Catalog will iterate through the combinations of domain-and-user until a combination is found that has
previously logged into Qlik Sense. This matched user will then be used to list and create/update apps. If multiple
domains are specified, two additional properties are needed.
The revised core_env property and two additional properties are:
# Directory name (aka domain name) which is combined with either the logged
# in user name or property 'podium.qlik.username'. Qlik Sense applications are
# then listed and created/updated using the user represented by combining the
# directory and user names. This user should have previously logged in to Qlik
# Sense. Required property when 'is.publish.to.qlik.enabled' is set to true.
# Multiple directories may be specified by using commas to separate each. In this
# case, Qlik Sense will be queried for each directory\user combination -- if that
# user previously logged in, that directory\user combination will be used for
# Publish to Qlik operations.
#qlik.sense.active.directory.name=
# If multiple directories were specified in property 'qlik.sense.active.directory.name',
# then a Qlik Sense 'RootAdmin' user is required in order to query Qlik Sense. Enter the
# directory and user names of a 'RootAdmin' user.
#qlik.sense.root.admin.directory.name=
#qlik.sense.root.admin.user.name=
