Qlik Sense

Applies to: Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows

This guide sets up the Qlik Sense connector using virtual proxy with header authentication, a Qlik method that is straightforward to configure between trusted systems. Datalogz reads metadata only; it never accesses the data inside your apps.

Certificate authentication is available on request. It requires Datalogz to hold a copy of the client SSL certificate, and all requests carry administrator-level permissions.

You will complete two steps: create a virtual proxy in the Qlik Management Console, and create the connector in Datalogz Control Tower. NPrinting monitoring is an optional third step.

Step 1: Create the virtual proxy in the Qlik Management Console (QMC)

1. In the QMC, create a virtual proxy with header authentication. See Qlik's virtual proxy documentation for the detailed steps.

2. Note the following values; you will need them in Step 2:

• Qlik Sense host URL

• Virtual proxy prefix

• Virtual proxy header name

• Virtual proxy header value

Step 2: Create the connector in Control Tower

1. Sign in to Datalogz Control Tower and go to Settings > BI Connectors.

2. Click New Connector and select Qlik Sense.

3. Enter the Host, Virtual proxy prefix, Virtual proxy header name, and Virtual proxy header value. Optionally add the NPrinting configuration (see below).

4. Click Connect.

5. Enter a Connector Name and select the snapshot frequency (for example Daily or Weekly).

6. Click Next, then Confirm and Finish.

Optional: NPrinting

NPrinting monitoring is optional but highly recommended: it lets Control Tower track the usage and distribution of reports from Qlik Sense. The steps assume NPrinting is already installed and configured in your environment. Have the following ready:

• NPrinting Server Name

• NPrinting Port

• NPrinting User Domain

• NPrinting User Name

• NPrinting Password
