Qlik Sense Prompts You to Recreate Root Certificate On Upgrade (Non-English OS)

[Andrew_Delaney]

Every time you upgrade Qlik Sense you get a warning about your certificates and are forced to recreate the root like you were impacted by the Node.js vulnerability issue fixed in early 2020

Unfortunately the check on the certificate is run on against a localised string, meaning that the check always fails in versions of windows running in a language other than English.

Being forced to recreate the certificate means you also have to redistribute the certificate to rim nodes and can disrupt links to cloud deployments.

Environment

• Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows  February 2020 or later
• Account is running in a language other than English

Resolution

This is expected to be fixed in the Qlik Sense February 2021 installer.

Workaround:

Change the OS language to English before installing
