Node.js - React - Authentication to Server #49

Closed robcastle closed 4 years ago

robcastle commented 5 years ago

Do you have an example of how to authenticate to a Qlik server? My app connects fine to your demo server but I can't get it to work against my server that requires authentication

fkabinoff commented 5 years ago

there's really no one flow. what kind of authentication are you using on your qlik sense virtual proxy and are you using the vizApi in qdt-components?

robcastle commented 5 years ago

I am using visApi in qdt-components.

One of our other apps uses certificates to connect to the Qlik server. I was trying to make that work but the docs that I was following didn't seem to work. I am using node.js with react and qdt-components with react template to place visualizations in my app.

For user authentication to the qlik server we are using windows authentication. But I'm fine with using certificates if I can get information on how to make it work with qdt-components on react.

Maybe I'm missing something. I can pass certificates if I'm making the API calls myself (without react). But if I'm using the react components, I don't know where the entry point is for the request to add the certificate. Do I need to modify the qdt-components source code? or is there a way to pass the react component options for the certificates?

fkabinoff commented 4 years ago

you would never want to pass certificates on the front-end. the front-end is trustless. qdt-components is a front-end library. it doesnt handle this itself.
