Qlik Automate's ServiceNow connector is moving from username and password authentication to OAuth 2.0. This change aligns with security best practices and ServiceNow's own recommendations for third-party integrations, eliminating the need to store credentials in plain text and providing more granular, revocable access control.
When will this change be made?
The change will go into effect on the 23rd of June, 2026.
What action do I need to take?
Existing connections that use username and password authentication will need to be re-authenticated using OAuth 2.0. Complete the re-authentication steps as outlined in this blog post on the 23rd of June to prevent possible service interruptions.
How do I switch my ServiceNow connection to OAuth 2.0?
ServiceNow provides guidance on each stage of the OAuth 2.0 setup. See the following for details:
OAuth 2.0 Overview
Set up OAuth
OAuth Inbound
OAuth Inbound and Outbound authentication
Enable OAuth with inbound REST
To migrate your Qlik Automate connector, first prepare ServiceNow by configuring OAuth 2.0, then re-authenticate Qlik Automate on the 23rd of June.
Before you begin, make sure you have Admin access to your ServiceNow instance and Admin or Owner access to your Qlik Cloud tenant and the relevant Qlik Automate automation.
Open the Application Manager in ServiceNow:
The OAuth 2.0 plugin must be available in your ServiceNow instance.
Log in to your ServiceNow instance.
Click the All button in the top-left navigation bar and search for Application Manager.
Select Application Manager from the results under Admin Center.
In the Application Manager, use theSearch your licensed applications and plugins field to search for OAuth. The ServiceNow products OAuth tile will appear in the results.
Click the OAuth tile to expand it, then install the OAuth 2.0 plugin (Plugin ID: com.snc.platform.security.oauth). Wait for the installation to complete before proceeding.
Navigate to Inbound Integrations:
Click the All button again and search for Inbound Integrations.
Select it from under System OAuth in the results.
Create a new OAuth application endpoint:
Click the New Integration button on the right.
On the connection type screen, select OAuth – Authorization code grant.
Configure the application by providing a Name, the Redirect URL, and the required scopes.
When prompted for a Redirect URL, use the callback URL provided by Qlik Automate during the connection setup. This URL must exactly match what is registered in ServiceNow.
Save the Client ID and Client Secret; they are required for the next step.
Click Save.
Re-authenticate the connector in Qlik Automate
This step can only be carried out after the change on the 23rd of June, 2026.
In Qlik Automate, add a new ServiceNow connection.
Enter your ServiceNow instance domain (format: https://[domain].service-now.com/).
Provide the Client ID and Client Secret previously recorded.
Follow the on-screen authentication flow to complete the OAuth authorisation.
If you encounter issues during the migration, please contact Qlik Support or visit the Qlik Community for assistance. When raising a support case, include your ServiceNow instance domain and the error message you are seeing.

Snowflake is rolling out stronger authentication requirements as part of their platform security initiative. Starting May 2026, new connections using only username and password will no longer be accepted, and all existing password-only connections will stop working between August and October 2026.
For the full rollout schedule, see Snowflake's authentication enforcement timeline.
If your Qlik Sense Cloud Analytics,Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, or QlikView environment connects to Snowflake, you will need to update those connections to use either key-pair authentication or OAuth before this change takes effect.
Who does this apply to?
This applies to any Qlik Cloud Analytics, Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, and QlikView connection to Snowflake, where the authentication method is set to Username and Password only. Connections that already use key-pair authentication or OAuth do not need to change.
To check your connections, review the Data connections and look for any Snowflake connections using username and password authentication.
What are my migration options?
There are two supported authentication methods you can migrate to.
Key-Pair Authentication
Key-pair authentication uses an RSA private/public key pair assigned to the Snowflake user account. It is the most straightforward migration path and does not require an identity provider. This option is recommended for most customers.
For setup steps, see Snowflake key-pair authentication documentation and the Qlik Snowflake connector guide.
OAuth
OAuth integrates with your existing identity provider (such as Okta or Azure AD) and is well-suited for organisations that want centralised access control and token-based authentication. It requires an OAuth security integration to be configured in Snowflake.
See theQlik Snowflake connector guide and Snowflake OAuth documentation.
OAuth support for Snowflake will be introduced toQlik Sense Enterprise on Windows with our Q2 2026 release.

Qlik introduced a change in how automation permissions are handled for the Analytics Admin role.
When was the change introduced?
The change is already live as of the 11th of May, 2026.
What does that mean for me?
Analytics Admins can now claim ownership of another user's automation. After claiming ownership, they can make necessary changes to it and enable the automation. However, they can no longer transfer ownership to another user.
How do I claim ownership of an automation?
As an Analytics admin, to claim ownership of an automation:
Navigate to the Automations section in the Administration Console
Locate the automation you want to claim ownership of, and click theActionsmenu (...)
Choose Claim ownership
This behavior change only applies to Analytics Admins. Tenant admins can still transfer ownership to any user with the appropriate access rights in the tenant.

Edited May 4th, 2026: Added mitigation article, published on the 4th of May.
Beginning on April 14, 2026, multiple QlikView customers experienced outages and intermittent disruptions within their QlikView environments. These incidents coincided with the deployment of Microsoft’s April 2026 security patches to Domain Controllers, which affected QlikView Server Service (QVS) communications over port 4747.
The Microsoft patches introduced changes targeting Kerberos authentication and RC4 encryption. See Addendum for a list of patches. As a result, QlikView environments where RC4 remained enabled (such as at the domain account or Windows server level) became unstable or non-functional.
The impact on QlikView may include, but is not limited to:
Failed QlikView Distribution Server distribution tasks with an error code indicating an Authentication Failure.
"No Server" message on the QlikView AccessPoint with an error message in the Web server log indicating that the Web server cannot connect to the QlikView Server.
Failed Qlik NPrinting distributions to QlikView using a QVP Connection.
Problems accessing the QlikView Server settings from the QlikView Management Console, or failures for the QlikView Server to come online after a restart.
What can be done to mitigate this issue?
We've published an article to help address the issue. See QlikView server communication interruptions following Microsoft Windows RC4 cipher suite deprecation.
Information in the article is based on Microsoft's remediation steps and has been adjusted and expanded to include QlikView-specific instructions. For the original, seeDetect and remediate RC4 usage in Kerberos | learn.microfot.com.
What action is Qlik taking?
RC4 support was deprecated starting with the May 2024 release of QlikView. The root cause in these cases stems from legacy configurations where RC4 remained enabled in the environment, rather than a defect in QlikView itself. No code changes are planned at this time, though improvements to diagnostic logging are under consideration.
Addendum
Microsoft Patches:
Windows Server 2022 (DC): KB5082142
Windows Server 2019 (DC): KB5082123
Windows Server 2016 (DC): KB508208

Salesforce is rolling out mandatory security updates to how connected apps handle OAuth authentication.
What does this mean for me?
To keep your Qlik Automate Salesforce connector working after Tuesday, 5th May 2026, you'll need to take a quick, one-time action: update a setting in your connection and re-authenticate to Salesforce.
This cannot be done automatically, nor can it be done before the release. A manual step is required on or after the 5th of May.
Why is this happening?
Salesforce has updated its OAuth security requirements for connected apps. You can read Salesforce's full announcement here: Mandatory Security Updates for Connected Apps.
Qlik Automate has updated the Salesforce connector to comply with these new security requirements. However, because of the nature of this change, existing connections cannot be migrated automatically.
What action do I need to take?
Follow these steps after the release on Tuesday, the 5th of May:
Open your Salesforce connection settings, navigate to the Salesforce connection in Qlik Automations,and open its configuration.
Add your domain. In the connection settings, locate the Enhanced_domain field (an existing input field) and enter your Salesforce org's custom domain.Make sure to include the "my" suffix if your domain has it. By using this, the 'environment' input is ignored. Format: https://{enhanced_domain}.salesforce.com.If you're unsure of your domain, you can find it in your Salesforce org under Setup → My Domain.
Re-authenticate. Once your domain is entered, you'll be prompted to log in to Salesforce again and authorize the updated app. Complete the login flow to re-establish the connection.
Verify the connection. Run a test automation that uses the Salesforce connection to confirm everything is working correctly.
What happens if I don't act?
If you don't complete these steps after the release date, your Salesforce automations will stop working and return a 401 Unauthorized error. No data will be lost, but you will need to complete the steps above to restore access.
