Qlik Sense migration to a server with different host nane

[QueenS]

Hi

I need to migrate qlik sense to another server with different host name,

I have one central node. 

I read the documentation of how to do it, but I have a problem with the certificates. In the documentation there is a description of how to backup and restore the certificates. it is the same procedure if the new server has identical host name or different, but when i restore the certificates on the new server, i can't open QMC due to "Windows authentication" error. I guess it is because of the certificates because they have been restored from a different hostname, 

Please advice. 

what should I do with the certificates when I migrate qlik sense from a server with different host name. 

Should I skip the certificates restore that described in the documentation and what will happen if I do?

Hi,

Did you try to connect with https://localhost/hub ? 

Users are local account from your qlik sense server ?

Can you share more description? You are using Local or AD users?
All Services running well w/o any problems? There are no logs file with timestamp In C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Log\Repository\Trace

If you skip certification restore you must update all passwords stored in dataconnection

I'm using AD users. All services are running. There are logs but not something that helps. 

I deleted the certificates and re-create them using "Repository.exe -bootstrap -standalone -restorehostname" but still can't connect to QMC.

I didn't restore the license since I have another one for this server, and i expect that QMC will open the license page to enter the details, like in new installations. but after re-creating the certificates I get REFUSE error on the browser, like authentication is wrong.

ok. anything else besides connections passwords?

when I use localhost it is being replaces to server name automatically

 "being replaces to server name automatically"
try login from QlikSense server localy using https://localhost/qmc
or https://hostname/QMC

Question. You use another hostname and restore backup from old server or you have two host with the same hostname in one AD?

Or just try to migrate without reimport certificates.

You just will have to reenter data connexion password.
