If your Qlik Cloud tenant hostname was recently renamed (for example, from company-old.us.qlikcloud.com to company-new.us.qlikcloud.com) and users are now receiving OAuth errors when connecting the Qlik Excel Add-in, this article explains what is happening and how to resolve it.

Symptoms

Users open Excel, launch the Qlik Add-in, and receive one of the following errors during authentication:

OAUTH-1: redirect_uri is not registered (Status 400)

OAUTH-14: OAuth client is not authorized

These errors appear even though the add-in was working before the tenant rename.

Resolution

1. Log in to the Qlik Cloud Management Console on the new tenant hostname.
2. Go to OAuth and delete the existing OAuth client used for the Excel Add-in.
3. Create a new OAuth client with the following settings: Client type: Public. Grant types: Authorization Code. User default scope: Enabled. Allowed origins: your current tenant URL (e.g., https://company.us.qlikcloud.com).
4. Go to Settings > Sharing and reports > Qlik add-ins for Microsoft Office. Select the new OAuth client from the dropdown and download the updated manifest.xml file.
5. Distribute the new manifest.xml to your users. Users must remove the old add-in from Excel before installing the new one.

Important: If users access the tenant through both the original URL and an alias, add both to the allowed origins field. Missing either one will cause authentication to fail.

Cause

The Excel Add-in manifest.xml and its OAuth client are created as a pair and are tied to a specific tenant hostname. When the tenant is renamed, the existing OAuth client retains the old hostname in its redirect URIs and allowed origins, triggering OAUTH-1. If the manifest is recreated but the OAuth client configuration still has incorrect settings, OAUTH-14 follows. The manifest file cannot be edited to point to a new hostname. It must be regenerated from a newly created OAuth client on the correct tenant.
