Scalability Tool Error: "Verify header connection settings and app" Despite Valid Virtual Proxy

Hi Qlik Community,

I'm currently working on a performance testing setup using the Qlik Sense Scalability Tool (QSST) with Qlik Sense Enterprise.

Here's what I've done so far:

  • Installed Qlik Scalability Tool 2017 version

  • Created a virtual proxy with:

    • Prefix: hdr

    • Authentication Method: Header

    • Header Authentication Header: hdruser

  • Linked the virtual proxy to a working central proxy

  • Set up a user: hdruser1 with access to the app (verified via security rule)

  • Verified that header authentication works using Postman
    (GET request to https://<server>/hdr/sense/app/<app-id> with header hdruser: hdruser1 returns 200 OK)

However, when I try to connect to the app using the Scalability Tool, I get the error:

"Verify header connection settings and app"

Here’s how I’ve configured the Scalability Tool (Settings tab):

  • Qlik Sense URL: https://<server>/hdr

  • Authentication: Header

  • Header User Template: hdruser1

  • App ID: (correct GUID)

  • Virtual Users: 5

I've double-checked the header name, app ID, and proxy linkage, but the issue persists.
The app loads fine in browser and Postman using the same user/header and URL.

Any help or guidance on what I might be missing would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
