Ho to redirect http to https on qlik sense hub

Thu, 19 May 2016 16:52:38 GMT

I have set up certificate for QlikSense so it is accessible only from https.

I have disabled "Allow HTTP" on the proxy on QlikSense.

when I access the qlik sense hub via https all is fine but I want when users by mistake type http://qliksenseportal.com for example to be redirected to https://qliksenseportal.com

I was checking the server on which the qlik sense is installed, and as much as I can see its not using IIS so setting it up on IIS is not possible.

Any idea how to do this?

A re erse proxy ahead should solve the proble.

That will work, but I was hoping that qlik sense have some easier solution, like there is some hidden config file in qliksense that once modified will do that.

Guess I was hoping too much

It's unbelievable that there's no configuration to do this.

you can use nginx

example config

server{

listen 11.22.33.44:80;

server_name qliksenseportal.com;

location /explorer{

return 302 https:/qliksenseportal.com;

}

A bit late to the party here, but still.

In cases when there is no existing reverse proxy in place, I've had good experiences from just running a tiny Node.js based http server, that does nothing but forward from http to https.

Kind of like this support document. But I prefer to run it as a Windows service using nssm. That way it will survive future Sense upgrades.
