# Qlik Sense

This guide will walk you through how to set up a Qlik Sense connector in the Datalogz Control Tower using the virtual proxy with header method for authentication. [This Qlik method for authentication is easy to set up and a good choice for a development environment or between trusted systems.](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/May2025/Subsystems/Platform/Content/Sense_PlatformOverview/Examples/config-header-authentication.htm)

{% hint style="info" %}
Certificate authentication is available on request, but to authenticate using certificates:

* Datalogz must have a copy of the client SSL certificate.
* All requests must carry administrator level permissions.
  {% endhint %}
