Within our company we are making use by Qlik. To authenticate within Qlik I need to provide with AD username and password. This works fine for getting acces from your own machine.
Now we want to show a certain dashboard on our narrowcasting so that the whole company can see this dashboard on the TV screens. We've create a user and a password and I've added the URL which is ready for embedding to the narrowcasting schema. The issue right now is that you get the login screen instead of the dashboard you're supposed to see.
This can be solved by adding the authentication to the request header of the request. But unfortunately our narrowcasting tool doesn't provide this option. This narrowcasting tool is on-premise installed, even Qlik is on-premise installed on one of our virtual machines.
Is there another option to add a header to a rest request from a certain VM towards another VM? Or maybe another trick that we can apply here?
Thanks in advance!
In this case might be easier to setup virtual proxy with JWT authentication.
If you have the JWT VP setup then access Qlik via the specified VP prefix and pass the generated JWT as http header.
In order to generate JWT and set the JWT VP you'll need to have access to Qlik's certificates.
Step-by-step guide how to set JWT VP can be found here
P.S. You can even create a "fake" user and generate JWT for this user (instead of using a real user)
