3 Agenda Overview Ways to customize authentication Header Solution Web Tickets QlikView s Authentication.aspx API Authorization between services Certificates Questions and Answers

4 Overview

5 Basic Architecture Trust QlikView Authentication server

6 Cutomizing Authentication Get user id and credentials Verify credentials Transfer user identity to QlikView

7 Web Server Authentication Who are you? QlikView Server Authorisation What documents can I see? User Docs Front End QlikView Publisher Authorisation What data sources can I use? Source Docs Back End

8 Header Solution High Low

9 Header Solution - Architecture Trust zone A Trust Zone B Header Authentication server

10 Use case Integration using proxy Trust zone A Trust Zone B Header: QVUSER=A User ID A Apache reverse proxy

11 Use case SSO using filter Header IIS

12 Web Tickets High High Low

13 Web Tickets Trust Authenticating system User Directory

14 Use case SAML using Webtickets SAML Identity Provider Trust SAML Service provider

15 QlikView s Authentication.aspx API High High Low

16 Authenticate.aspx - Architecture User Directory Authenticate to external directory Login Transfer user identity to Qlikview

17 Authenticate.aspx flow Login failure No Get user credentials Authenticate to external system Success Yes Resolv user groups Transfer user to QlikView

18 Pseudo code //Validate credentials with external authentication system List<string> groups = new List<string>(); groups.add( NTDOMAIN\\EXPORTXLS"); //Allow him to export to Excel for this session groups.add( MOBILE"); //He can see data that is allowed from mobile devices IUser user = new NamedUser("NTDOMAIN\\XXX", groups, true); QlikView.AccessPoint.User.GenericAuthentication(context, user); //Ready to use QV

19 Use Case Authenticate.aspx LDAP Directory Group resolution using Directory Service Connector Authenticate to external directory Login Transfer user identity to Qlikview

20 Use Case Authenticate.aspx LDAP Directory Group resolution using Directory Service Connector Request Verify certificate Transfer user identity to Qlikview

21 Gererall security requirements All authentication needs to be protected from evesdropping Use encrypted communication such as HTTPS or VPN All authentication is done outside the QlikView system therefore there needs to be established trust between the systems IP address whitelists Firewall restrictions Authentication using something you have Hardening of the IIS platform in accordance with local security policy

22 How to Choose a Solution Yes Web frontend to integrate with No Yes Need to integrate content into portal using IFrames No Authenticate.aspx WebTicket Yes Need to transfer groups from authentication system No WebTicket Yes SSO system with header support No Header WebTicket

23 Certificates

24 Certificates Features Configuring Certificates, in a multiple server deployment within QlikView, removes the dependency of a QlikView Administration Group Certificates allows the use of certificates to build a trust domain between services that can be located between different domains/areas such as internal networks, extranets and internet Eliminates the need to share an Active Directory (AD) or other user directories. The architecture is based on the QlikView Management Service (QMS) as the certificate manager (CA, Certificate Authority). The QMS will be able to create and distribute certificates to all services in the QlikView installation.

25 Certificates Certificate Structure When deploying Certificates all QlikView servers must be configured for certificates. QlikView services participating in the installation will receive certificates signed using this root certificate when added to the QMS. QMS as the Certificate Authority(CA) issues digital certificates that contain keys and the identity of the owner QlikView Management Service is an important part of the security solution and needs to be managed from a secure location to keep the certificate solution secure. The QMS is responsible for saying "yes, this service deployed on this server is a service in my installation".
