Where does Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows log information about user logins?

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

By default, Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows uses Windows NTML authentication. Unless customized, you can reliably verify user logins using the Windows Event viewer, specifically the Security logs.

If a customized Single Sign-On System has been put in place, please contact your SSO provider or administrator for login information.

Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows logs user sessions in its log files as well, though it will not log authentication or login attempts, as these are handled by whatever authentication method you have deployed.

You can find access information in: C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Log\Proxy\Audit\QLIKSERVER1_AuditSecurity_Proxy.txt

Once successfully authorized, the user will then require a license. License allocation can be tracked in the C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Log\Repository\Trace\QLIKSERVER1_License_Repository.txt log file.
