How to change the SSL certificate for QlikView

[Sebastian_Linser]

For information on how to enable SSL/HTTPS for the QlikView AccessPoint and the QlikView Management Console, see QlikView AccessPoint and QMC with HTTPS and a custom SSL certificate. 

The installed certificate may need to be replaced when it expired. This article covers how to set up a new certificate.

Resolution

First, using the netsh command, we verify what the current certificate binding looks like. 

To do so:

• Open Run by pressing Windows key + R
• In the Run line type cmd
• Hit return. This opens Command Prompt
• In Commpand Prompt, type: 

netsh http show ssl

This will output all currently bound certificates.

Locate the certificate bound to port 443. An example of the pout can be seen here:

  IP:port                      : 0.0.0.0:443
  Certificate Hash             : 08098d664277fd1faae40ee0e493aff7693ede8c
  Application ID               : {4e082795-31bc-4f1b-812a-bfd78dd98fce}
  Certificate Store Name       : (null)
  Verify Client Certificate Revocation : Enabled
  Verify Revocation Using Cached Client Certificate Only : Disabled
  Usage Check                  : Enabled
  Revocation Freshness Time    : 0
  URL Retrieval Timeout        : 0
  Ctl Identifier               : (null)
  Ctl Store Name               : (null)
  DS Mapper Usage              : Disabled
  Negotiate Client Certificate : Disabled

 Next, we delete the binding on port 443.

In the same command prompt, type: 

netsh http delete sslcert ipport=IPADDRESS:443     

Where IPADDRESS is the IP address returned with IP:Port in the previous output. Example: IP:port : 0.0.0.0:443

This will delete the current certificate binding. This will not delete the certificate from the certificate store. If you are not overwriten/refreshing the certificate, we recommend manually deleting the old one. 

Next, you will need to bind the new certificate/refreshed certificate. Follow the instructions in QlikView AccessPoint and QMC with HTTPS and a custom SSL certificate.
