Unsigned Powershell scripts for installation of Qlik Sense

[Henning]

Hi!

A Qlik Sense trial customer complains about the fact that there are unsigned PowerShell Scripts used in the installation process and the installation manual explicitely says that it needs them. To install Qlik Sense, one has to explicetely bypass such an execution policy.

- Why is that needed?

- What are the scripts needing this and what do they do?

- Is it planned to change this?

Their company policy does not allow the execution of unsigned scripts.

Thank you!

Hello @Henning ,

for the moment there is unfortunately no fix for this in the product, you need to set the execution policy to Unrestricted prior to Installation and Update. You don't need the policy enabled after that.

The scripts itself configure a lot of the microservices installed by the service dispatcher. 

Couple of examples here:

C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\NotifierService\install\Configure-Service.ps1
C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\AppDistributionService\Configure-Service.ps1
C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\HybridDeploymentService\Configure-Service.ps1
C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\MobilityRegistrarService\install\Configure-Service.ps1
C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\PrecedentsService\install\Configure-Service.ps1
C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\NLAppSearch\install\Configure-Service.ps1

An old article Qlik Sense June 2018 setup fails to execute a powershell script shows the same in the 2018 versions. We have raised this already with R&D as an improvement it is on the roadmap but not short term.

best regards
