CLI and User Directory Connectors

[stascher]

Hello,

Is it possible to use CLI on Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows to obtain the operational status of User Directory Connectors?

Thank you,

Steven

Yes, it is possible — but with some limitations.

Best Option: Qlik CLI + QRS API

You can use the Qlik CLI (qlik command line tool) on Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows to get the status of User Directory Connectors via the QRS (Qlik Repository Service) API.

Example commands:

Bash

# List all User Directory Connectors
qlik qrs user-directory-connector list

# Get detailed status of a specific UDC
qlik qrs user-directory-connector get --id <UDC-ID>

More Practical Commands:

1. List all UDCs with basic info:

   Bash

   qlik qrs user-directory list

2. Check synchronization / operational status:

   Bash

   qlik qrs user-directory-connector sync-status --id <UDC-ID>

   Or check the last sync time and status.

Alternative / Easier Ways:

• QMC (Qlik Management Console): Go to User Directory Connectors → you can see status and last sync directly in the UI.
• QRS API directly (if CLI is not giving full details): Use tools like Postman or PowerShell with the QRS API.

Note: The CLI must be configured with proper certificates and connected to your Qlik Sense server (qlik qrs setup).
