GENERAL

Authentication

The service account is displayed in this section. If necessary, the service account can be changed in this section.

The Port numbers should be different.

Attention: IN M&D on-prem, when using the M&D Extensions for Qlik Sense and calling Qlik Sense with HTTPS a 3rd party certificates is mandatory and its THUMBPRINT should be added.

The 3rd party certificate should have the following attributes

• Certificates that are x509 version 3. More information including filename extensions under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.509 
• Use signature algorithm sha256RSA
• Use signature hash algorithm sha256
• Signed by a valid, and OS/browser configured , CA
• Are valid according to date restrictions (valid from/valid to)
• Key in format CryptoAPI (not in CNG)
• The certificate itself has to contain private key

If Qlik Sense is used with HTTP, the calls to M&D API can be made with HTTP and the 3rd party certificate is not necessary.

Before handling certificates Enable HTTP, otherwise there's the risk to be locked out.

Enable this option only when instructed by Mail & Deploy support team. And disable it as soon as the support ticket is close.
