Pre-requirements (Client-side)
See the requirements for your mobile app version on the official Qlik Online Help > Planning your Qlik Sense Enterprise deployment > System requirements for Qlik Sense Enterprise > Qlik Sense Mobile app
Configuration (Server-side)
Acquire a signed and trusted Certificate.
Out of the box, Qlik Sense is installed with HTTPS enabled on the hub and HTTP disabled. Due to iOS specific certificate requirements, a signed and trusted certificate is required when connecting from an iOS device. If using HTTPS, make sure to use a certificate issued by an Apple-approved Certification Authority.
Also check Qlik Sense Mobile on iOS: cannot open apps on the HUB for issues related to Qlik Sense Mobile on iOS and certificates.
For testing purposes, it is possible to enable port 80.
(Optional) Enable HTTP (port 80).
- Open the Qlik Sense Management Console and navigate to Proxies.
- Select the Proxy you wish to use and click Edit Proxy.
- Check Allow HTTP
Update the Host White List in the proxy
If not already done, add an address to the White List:
- In Qlik Management Console, go to CONFIGURE SYSTEM -> Virtual Proxies
- Select the proxy and click Edit
- Select Advanced in Properties list on the right pane
- Scroll to Advanced section in the middle pane
- Locate "Allow list"
- Click "Add new value" and add the addresses being used when connecting to the Qlik Sense Hub from a client. See How to configure the WebSocket origin allow list and best practices for details.
Generate the authentication link:
An authentication link is required for the Qlik Sense Mobile App.
- Navigate to Virtual Proxies in the Qlik Sense Management Console and edit the proxy used for mobile App access
- Enable the Client authentication link menu in the far right menu.
- Generate the link.
NOTE: In the client authentication link host URI, you may need to remove the "/" from the end of the URL, such as http://10.76.193.52/ would be http://10.76.193.52
Associate User access pass
Users connecting to Qlik Sense Enterprise need a valid license available. See the Qlik Sense Online Help for more information on how to assign available access types.
