SSL

By default @informatiqal/qlik-sse will create insecure server. In order to create secure connection we'll have to provide se tof certificates, which will be used by the server and the client.

Generating certificates

The official Qlik SSE repository contains the necessary files and instructions of how to create self-signed certificates.

The same files are available in @informatiqal/qlik-sse package as well.

Files

• sse_client_config.txt - edit the alt_names section to specify list of hosts/ip that will be included in the certificate
• sse_server_config.txt - nothing to edit here. Used to generate the client certificates
• generate_sse_certs.bat - run this file to generate the actual certificates. Run generate_sse_certs.bat <name>. <name> can be anything. This argument will be used to create folder where the certificates will be stored
• generate_sse_certs.sh - same as generate_sse_certs.bat but for Linux operating systems

Set of certificates

If we run generate_sse_certs.bat test the following folders and files will be available:

Check out QS Setup section for information how to setup QS to use these certificates

Warning

Qlik expects the certificates to have exactly these names:

• root.pem
• sse_client_cert.pem
• sse_client_key.pem
