Session Authentication example

Hi there, I'm struggling to make this example to work.

As mentioned in the comments, I downloaded the session module template from GitHub and followed the rules to run it with Node JS over port 8190 with client certificates.

Of course, I made some changes:

create a new virtual proxy
- with a unique name and prefix ("mashup")
- Ticket/Form authentication
- with a unique session cookie header name (X-Qlik-Session-mashup)
- with the following white list: localhost, <public domain>, <server-name>
- with http://localhost:8190 as session module base URI
within SessionAPITestModule.js
- var RESTURI = "https://<public domain>:4243/qps"
- fixed certificates name and passphrase
- added "mashup" prefix where needed (/redirect endpoint)
- used X-Qlik-Session-mashup instead of the original cookie name
within SelectUser.htm
- modified the userDirectory parameter to our user directory (server name)
- reduced the number of lines and users to three to match users of ours

With this setup, running on localhost, I'm able to create a new session and set the cookie, but when I try to get access to Qlik Sense (through the new VP), the system replies with an internal error. Proxy logs say this:

The underlying connection was closed: The connection was closed unexpectedly

Web exception when contacting service uri http://localhost:8190/

Is there, maybe, a better guide to follow?
