Hi All,

Hi Bill,

I have the certificate ready. Please advise on next steps.

I tried to understand the steps mentioned in the attached doc. Since I have the certificate, I need to follow the doc from step 3.1: Configuring IIS to use SSL.

Only 2 points I did not understand is:

• 4.1: point #7. After stopping the QlikView Settings service, we need to start the QlikView Webserver. I do not have QlikView webserver, I have only Qlikview Settings srvice
• Is generating a unique GUID mandatory? or is there any other alternative for this?

Please advise

Thanks

Any chance you have a document of how to create short links with "URL rewrite" in IIS?

Hi

I have successfully implemented the process(using the doc attached in my previous post) to convert http to https. Both AccessPoint and QMC are working on https.

But, there is still an issue which exists:

I have changed the URLs for the QlikView Distribution Service, Directory Service Connector and QlikView Web Service in the QlikView Management Console to use HTTPS .

I made sure that  the services are all connected and display the green icon and show Running in the Status column.

But, when I click on the new https links in all the above mentioned service in QMC, I am getting an error saying : 'This site might be using unsupported protocol or ciphers such as RC4'

Any suggestions on this please?

Also,

I wanted to know, in what scenarios do we use these links and why?

Thanks

Hi Anil,

Sorry I did not get your question.

[Anil_Babu_Samineni]

No, I am asking you when ever you want to open the http. You want to redirect https://

Is that / Any thing else ////

I am not redirecting the URL to https.

I have configured Qlikview services to use SSL for communication and all the services in the status shows running. But when I click on the URL in the QMC available for QlikView Distribution Service, Directory Service Connector and QlikView Web Service  , I am getting the error saying unsupported protocol or ciphers .

(QMC--> System--> Setup)

Please advise.

Thanks

Hi Aarohi,

I am currently in the process of gathering the documentation to convert http to https for both Access Point

and QMC.

Can you please help me on this; as I have read that you have successfully implemented the process.

I did find the several documents and after going through all I got stuck in between Enable SSL - QlikView Webserver and  QlikViewAndIIS.docx‌...documents. Initially I have implemented the mentioned steps in my Server but only able to open the Access Point by using https but not the QMC.... not sure what exactly I am missing or doing wrong here.

Could you please send me the exact steps that you have followed and please note that I have the QlikView Webserver Service.

Thanks,

Nihal
