Qlik Sense - After update data load stops with error "forbidden"

[erltrth2018]

Hi all

We have updated our Qlik Sense to "Qlik_Sense_November_2018_setup" (incl. patch) using Xtract Universal Designer Version 2.105.7.2 for SAP.

Does anybody get the following message after trying to load the data from the script editor?

Loading of data started
The following error has occurred:
Forbidden
The error occurred here:
tvv1t]: LOAD [KVGR1] AS [Customer group 1], [BEZEI] AS [Description] FROM [http://localhost:8085/?name=tvv1t] (txt, codepage is 65001, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq, no eof)
Data was not loaded. Correct the error and repeat the loading process.

Taking the localhost url, the data is loaded. And the former Version of Qlik Sense didn't have this problem.

Does anybody have any clue why the error occurs? Or has anybody the same problem after the latest Qlik Sense update?

Thank you for your Inputs.

Regards

Thomas

We checked also ports, user rights.

Hi,

We are also getting same error for a similar URL after upgrading to Feb2019 from Feb2018. It was working perfectly fine in Feb2018.

Let me know if you were able to resolve this?

I think we solved it with this Information.

Resolution

This is an intentional change since Qlik Sense June 2018 to enhance security. By default, only port 5555 (default port of Qlik Web Connectors) is allowed for local WebFile connectivity.

To allow localhost connections, add one of the following parameters to Settings.ini:

• To allow all ports (not recommended due to security reasons): WebFilePreventLoopback = 0 
• To allow custom ports: ​WebFilePreventLoopbackWhitelist=%customPorts% , for example WebFilePreventLoopbackWhitelist=5556-5559,8080

Location of Settings.ini:

• Qlik Sense Enterprise: C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Engine. Make sure to take a backup of this file before modification and restart Qlik Sense Engine service after the change.
• Qlik Sense Desktop: C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\Qlik\Sense. Close Qlik Sense Desktop before making the Change.
