Integrating business applications with legacy authentication modules into a modern federated single sign-on (SSO) environment such as Okta poses a challenge to many businesses. Building on decades of experience architecting, implementing, and consulting on Identity and Access Management solutions, ICSynergy has created the SPGateway in order to help businesses solve modern application integration challenges.

QlikView is a very popular business intelligence and data visualization web application used by enterprises to obtain sales metrics and information. Integrating QlikView into a single sign-on environment can pose a challenge to enterprises due to the application architecture. QlikView relies on custom development or the presence of a legacy WAM solution that passes secure headers for authentication. ICSynegy’s SPGateway bridges the gap between applications requiring header-based authentication and modern SSO solutions such as Okta (see Figure 1). The ICSynergy SPGateway provides a SAML 2.0 enabled reverse proxy that can securely pass headers to QlikView, thus authenticating users while maintaining the integrity of the SSO solution.

Using the ICSynergy SPGateway to authenticate users to QlikView allows for rapid deployment of a commercially supported authentication solution that requires no custom development. As a result, the SPGateway allows federation and SSO implementations to be completed while minimizing deployment and integration costs.

The ICSynergy SPGateway is offered as a high performance appliance that can be quickly and easily deployed as a single instance or a multi-instance HA architecture, both complete with disaster recovery capabilities.
