Qlik-cli bad request

[dferreirogft]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure Qlik-cli in our server .

I connect successfully to it but then when executing commands like start-qliktask I'm getting bad request (400) error.

Other api calls like getAbout or so are working correctly.

I followed the steps to install the certificates from GitHub page and qlik help.

Any clues?

Thanks

What's the full series of commands that you're using to connect? Because that could be due to a lack of permissions. For example:

PS C:\> Connect-Qlik -UserName Example\randomuser

PS C:\> Start-QlikTask -id 3f053d35-e1e6-40f0-b3de-449c009ce99d
The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Qlik-Cli\1.15.1\functions\core.ps1:35 char:17
+ ... $result = Invoke-RestMethod -Method $method -Uri $path @params -Web ...

hi:

i am having the same problem when using qlik-cli from windows module.  hope that you can help.

i can connect using connect-qlik.  but when calling set-qliklicense, it errors out:

update:  this is the code where Connect-Qlik works but Set-QlikLicense doesn't.

[hashtable]$connection = @{

    ComputerName   = $module.Params.Computername

    TrustAllCerts  = $true

    UseDefaultCredentials  =  $true

}

[hashtable]$license = [ordered]@{

    serial       = $module.Params.serial

    control      = $module.Params.control

    name         = $module.Params.name

    organization = $module.Params.organization

    lef  = $module.Params.lef

}

try {

    Import-Module Qlik-Cli

    $result = Connect-Qlik @connection

    $result = Set-QlikLicense @license

}

catch {

    $module.FailJson("failed. $($_.Exception.Message)", $_)

}

• What user is making the request?
  • The user obviously needs to have the appropriate permissions
• Is the site licensed already?
  • If so with what license type: JWT or Serial + Control number?
• What license are you applying?
  • JWT or Serial + Control number?

hi Levi_Turner:  thanks for your response.  please find the info as follows.

.the user making the request is a service account with sufficient permissions (ie, this same service account running this same command with win_shell works.  but we are trying to make running from windows module, then we got the errors)

.we have qlik license with serial and control numbers

.this code is for automating deployment

please let us know if there is anything else that needs clarified.

thank you

> Is the site licensed already?

That is still outstanding.

[ceciliadoan]

the ansible code does the followings:

.installing central node

.then running qlik-cli Connect-Qlik to connect (this works) then running set-qliklicense (this fails)

so my guess: that is still outstanding?

[ceciliadoan]

update:  sorry if i did not understand the question.

this is a brand new central node installation where license has never been installed.
