Qlik Sense: Generating CSR for 3rd Party Certificates

[Andre_Sostizzo]

Qlik Sense supports the use of certificates issued by trusted certificate authorities like Symantec, Digicert, GoDaddy, and others. While the Management Console (QMC) has a certificate export function, the only capability is exporting the Qlik Sense generated self-signed certs. To generate a CSR, you need to use an additional tool like OpenSSL.

Environment:

Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows , all versions

Please note that the attached pdf file is provided as a general guide for how a certificate may be generated and configured with a private key and doesn't take into account specific properties of each individual environment. Issues with certificate generation and/or configuration of a private key are not in scope for Qlik Support.

Also note that the certificate must include the ProviderType (24) Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider. See how to convert the provider under SHA-256 and Converting the Cryptographic Service Provider Type.
