Connecting Qlik Sense SaaS with MongoDB emulator in Azure

luke_brady — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 10:31:59 GMT

I have a connection string for a MongoDB database running in Azure on CosmosDB that works when using the mongoDB client by just providing the entire string, however when selecting the "MongoDB" connection, there are a lot of settings that need to be provided.

By following this documentation I could identify the credentials and information that I needed:

https://docs.azure.cn/en-us/cosmos-db/mongodb/connect-account

I was unfortunately still not able to connect to the database. Has anyone got any experience with this or could possibly provide me with some guidance?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @luke_brady , can you please clarify what you mean by "still not able to connect to the database"?
Are you getting an error? If so, which?

@Daniele_Purrone

I've entered everything in the place I think it should be correct and I receive the error

"Connection failed: Please check the values for Username‚ Password‚ Host and other properties."

I've entered the server, changed the port and entered the username and password. If what I entered was incorrect, I'm not really sure what else I can change to try again. Potentially there is something else I'm missing.
