Create API keys in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows

[Technolero]

The developers have requested the ability to create API keys in our self-managed Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows deployment. I see guides about how to do this in the SaaS edition and on Kubernetes, but Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows looks/acts differently than those versions, and I cannot find a way to be able to create API keys. What am I missing?

Hello,

The API authentication works differently between Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows and Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS. 

In the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows you would use the QlikClient certificate to use the API. 
I would suggest to take a look at this page which is a good starting point to work with our API

Hope this helps!
