Why QlikSense Server should be included in a domain to Active Directory authentication

[marcos_herrera]

Hi Dear Qlik Community

I Have a Technical Question, i have a QlikSense Server 3.0.2 installation in a Windows 2012 R2, the server was nor added to domain, in the QMC i configured one Activer Directory Connection (user directory connection), The connection and sincronization works fine, but when i try authenticate some AD User not works.

I was reading a bit and found that Qlik Sense is mandatory that the server is associated with the domain.

I need Know the technical reason or technical arguments to this mandatory option if somebody could provide me some article or technical document or paragraph with this technical information.

Thanks

Only if you want to use that domain to authenticate users. You can other user directory connectors instead if you like You could use an excel file to store your user directory information and create a udc for that if you want.
