Qlik Sense

Applies to: Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows

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.

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.
