Connect to Qlik Sense

Let's configure the QlikSense connection properties to connect to Qlik Sense.

Before you begin

Before you configure a connection, you'll need to get the Qlik Sense server URL, user directory, user name, client certificate file, and the client certificate password to access the Qlik Sense server. You'll also need to copy the Qlik Sense client certificate file named client.pfx to the Secure Agent machine.

The following table describes the basic connection properties:

Use Secret Vault
Stores sensitive credentials for this connection in the secrets manager that is configured for your organization.
This property appears only if secrets manager is set up for your organization.
This property is not supported by Data Ingestion and Replication and the Data Access Management services.
When you enable the secret vault in the connection, you can select which credentials that the Secure Agent retrieves from the secrets manager. If you don't enable this option, the credentials are stored in the repository or on a local Secure Agent, depending on how your organization is configured.
Note:
If you’re using this connection to apply data access policies through pushdown or proxy services, you cannot use the Secret Vault configuration option.
For information about how to configure and use a secrets manager, see Secrets manager configuration.
