Cause
Most browsers block this kind of referral (cross site scripting is a major security issue!).

Resolution
The 2 possible options are:
1. Let Qlik manage the security and the content => Use the content library
Add the link to the app e.g: https://servername/content/contentname/filename.pdf
2. Manage your own shared folder and security with a web browser... ==> use Ngninx, Apache or IIS.
Re: Reverse Proxy and Authentication port redirect
The former is easier to do...
