System Administrators can Enable authentication for download data feed links in Qwickly Attendance Pro. If enabled, the Data Feed links need to be requested with basic authentication.
In order to enable this setting, the Admins can navigate to the Qwickly Dashboard > Manage Instances > Attendance Settings > Reporting.
Information about applying Basic Authentication can be found by clicking here.
For Basic Authentication, a username and password combination is required. Clients of Qwickly can navigate to Qwickly Dashboard > Manage Instances where they will find a Key and Secret. The Key should be used as the username field and the Secret should be used as the password field for Basic Authentication.
Example Workflow
- Get your Key and Secret from the Qwickly Dashboard > Manage Instances Page. For this example, the Key is kjh543ddsuwew and the secret is 3219vsddsd7mc
- Create a combined string out of key and secret with a : (colon) character (for this example it is kjh543ddsuwew:3219vsddsd7mc)
- Encode this string in base64. The result of our example string after base64 encoding is a2poNTQzZGRzdXdldzozMjE5dnNkZHNkN21j (use this free site to encode or decode in base64: https://www.base64encode.net/)
- Take the result base64 encoded string and add it to your request headers as "Authorization: Basic a2poNTQzZGRzdXdldzozMjE5dnNkZHNkN21j"
- Make a request to the Data Feeds URL with this request header to get your data
If any issues are faced with this setting, clients can open a support ticket with Qwickly from here.
