Creating New Data Connection

Hi, 

I'm trying to use Qlik Web Connectors to pull data from a file saved within SharePoint. All works fine until trying to create the Data Connection within the Qlik Sense script. 

When trying to create the new Web File connection upon clicking "Create" I am getting red text stating "Peer certificate cannot be authenticated." 

Does anyone know what may be causing this? I've done numerous searches on Google but unfortunately can't find an answer. 

Thanks, Tom.

Hello  @Thomas91 

 

Thanks for posting your query.

 

Cause:

This issue occurs when the Qlik Web connector does not have the proper certificate authority installed under the Trusted Server CAs option.

 

  1. Login to the admin console
  2. Navigate to System > Configuration > Certificate > Trusted Server CAs
  3. Click Import Trusted Server CAs
  4. Click Browse
  5. Browse to the certificate authority file
  6. Click Import Certificate
  7. Navigate to System > Configuration > CA
  8. Click Save Changes to reattempt the registration again.

Thanks,

Padma Priya

Hi @PadmaPriya , 

Thanks for your response. 

Are the above steps within the MMC? I'm not exactly sure which certificate should be there but there does seem to be one for the QWC? 

Thanks, Tom
