Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows: Snowflake connection with key-pair authentication fails

[AfeefaTk]

A connection through a Snowflake connector may fail if:

• the Authentication Mechanism is set to Key Pair
• the Advanced parameters include a proxy setting 

Environment

Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows 

Resolution

Set up proxy as a system environment variable instead of using it as a connector-level advanced parameter.

This can be done by running the command below in an admin command prompt on the affected system(s), and rebooting the system

setx https_proxy "http://proxyserver.company.com:port" /M

Adding system-wide environment variables risks breaking other vendor's apps.
