Proxy settings tips for the Qlik GeoAnalytics Connector

Patric_Nordstrom — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 08:17:53 GMT

The GeoAnalytics connector accesses internet like all connectors through the service user that runs the Qlik Sense or QlikView server. This might complicate things for companies runs a web proxy which requires user authentication.

Note, log on to windows as the service user, that will create a profile used by the web proxy.

To overcome this the connector can be supplied with proxy settings. The connector is a .Net program so the settings are inherited for the .Net framework. Depending on the proxy the following the settings may work. The settings are to be inserted in the settings file at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Qlik\Custom Data\QvIdevioConnector\IdevioGeoAnalyticsConnector.exe.config path may vary due to how the installation was done (default folders). The settings are to be inserted in the end, in the <configuration> tag.

Ex 1: Tells the connector to use default credentials:

<system.net>

</system.net>

Ex 2: Add server to bypasslist (string is regexp):

<system.net>

</bypasslist>

</defaultProxy>

</system.net>

Ex 3: To specify the proxy explicitly:

<system.net>

</defaultProxy>

</system.net>

Hi Patrick,

The proxy mentioned in this article works for Open redhat + GA Sep 2019 version when we upgrade to Java latest version + latest GA Nov 2021, the same proxy doesn't work.

Article: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-Sense-Documents/Proxy-settings-tips-for-the-Qlik-GeoAnalytics-Connector/ta-p/1485869

Proxy settings used in our environment:

<system.net >
<defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true" enabled="true">
<proxy
usesystemdefault="false"
autoDetect="false"
proxyaddress="OUR PROXY SERVER:8080" />

</defaultProxy>
</system.net >

Could you please kindly advise if we can make any modification in the proxy setting?
