Authentication issue when loading extension - Popup asking for credentials

[morenoju]

Hi guys,

I'm using basic authentication to access my app from a different machine. It all works well except when I open certain sheets: they always ask for credentials on a popup. Those sheets of my app have in common that they use a custom extension.

Why do you think this custom extension would ask for the credentials? Is it maybe a folder permissions issue? I don't know in what folder Qlik Sense Server stores the extensions after having been imported in QMC, but maybe that folder is not accesible for certain users?

I would like to hear what you think about this. At this point I'm not even sure of what to check!

Thanks much,

Juan

In the abstract, there's going to be a call for an asset used by the extension (e.g. JS / CSS / PNG file) which isn't relative. Here' s an example of an extension behaving properly:

Note how it calls http://localhost{/virtualproxyprefixinuse}/extension..... where it's using the virtual proxy which my user is using rather than http://localhost/extension/.... which does not have a prefix which would be Windows authentication in my environment.

Hi Leviturner, thanks a lot for your reply!
Looks like the extension may have an issue with the paths then. This is at the beginning of the js:

requirejs.config({
    paths: {
        leaflet: '/extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/leaflet',
        easyButton: '/extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/easy-button',
        markercluster: '/extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/leaflet.markercluster-etx',
        leafletHeatmap: '/extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/leaflet-heatmap',
        heatmap: '/extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/heatmap.min',
        nanobar: '/extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/nanobar.min',
        wellknown: '/extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/wellknown',
        tinycolor: '/extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/tiny-color'
    },

How would you define those paths so the virtual proxy is taken into account?

Thanks

After a few attempts, I noticed that adding ´..´ to the paths, the calls are done through the virtual proxy.

requirejs.config({
    paths: {
        leaflet: '../extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/leaflet',
        easyButton: '../extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/easy-button',
        markercluster: '../extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/leaflet.markercluster-etx',
        leafletHeatmap: '../extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/leaflet-heatmap',
        heatmap: '../extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/heatmap.min',
        nanobar: '../extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/nanobar.min',
        wellknown: '../extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/wellknown',
        tinycolor: '../extensions/etx-point-map-1/lib/js/tiny-color'

Solved!
