I am trying to connect to QlikSense Enterprise from my local computer, using the certificates method. I received the root.pem, client.pem and client_key.pem files from our Qliksense admin. But whenever I am trying to connect, I am receiving this error:
Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain
at TLSSocket.onConnectSecure (_tls_wrap.js:1515:34)
at TLSSocket.emit (events.js:400:28)
at TLSSocket._finishInit (_tls_wrap.js:937:8)
at TLSWrap.ssl.onhandshakedone (_tls_wrap.js:709:12) {
code: 'SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN'
}
This is the nodejs script which I am using:
const WebSocket = require('ws');
const path = require('path')
const fs = require('fs')
// Set certPath to the path to the directory that contains the exported client certificates in PEM format.
var certPath = path.join('/local-path-to-pem-files/');
var certificates = {
cert: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(certPath, 'client.pem')),
key: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(certPath, 'client_key.pem')),
root: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(certPath, 'root.pem'))
};
// Open a WebSocket using the engine port (rather than going through the proxy)
// We use the certificates and a built-in Qlik service account
// We connect at the global level, which gives access to APIs in the Global class
const ws = new WebSocket('wss://<server-name>/app/', {
ca: [certificates.root],
cert: certificates.cert,
key: certificates.key
});
ws.onopen = function (event) {
// send some message
}
ws.on('error', function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
Is there anything I am missing? Can someone please help?
I saw there is another way to authenticate JSON API, ie, using API key. Will it solve the same purpose? Is this method available for Qliksense Enterprise?
