Web app authentication with QSEoW (web ticket + session cookie)

In one of the previous post we saw how to use web ticket to establish connection with Qlik Sense Engine. And probably for most cases the approach there is enough.

But what if our web app have a requirement to communicate with other Qlik service(s) (in addition to the Engine)? For example, we want to list the reload tasks to which the user have access (this information is provided by Qlik Repository Service REST API)?

This post is long overdue but finally found the time to complete it.

Here we’ll have a look how to establish connection (via enigma.js) to Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows (QSEoW) when hosting an web app outside of Qlik (not as an extension). And more specifically we’ll have a look at what is the authentication work flow.

The (very simple) web app will just list the apps that are available for the logged in user. I’ll be using Svelte as web framework (more specifically SvelteKit) but the general work flow should work in the same way with other frameworks as well.
