Qlik Cloud Connector - Authorization

Support
1

I have setup a Qlik Cloud Connection for exporting Qlik files directly to the Qlik Cloud.
Now there seems to be a problem with the authentication.
The authorization seems to have a time limit. After a day the authorization is not valid anymore.

So I have to cancel the authorization, and Authorize again. Then it’s ok for a day.

Is this default behavior? Or is this a bug?

Hi @Wim

This is not the expected behavior, it seems that for some reason Qlik ignores offline_scope requested by EasyMorph during authorization. This decision is done by Qlik server.

One possible workaround I can think of is for you to create a separate OAuth registration in your tenant, using this guide

Just remember to add
http://localhost:7890/authorize and http://127.0.0.1:7890/authorize to the list of Redirect URLs for everything to work:

After you create the client, copy Client Id and Secret provided by Qlik

and then use them instead of default ones in the Qlik connector dialog:

Hi,

Thank you for the explanation.
I just followed your steps, and I will check tomorrow if it keeps running.

Hi,

It’s still not working:
When I try the test button, it says:

When I cancel the authorization, and reauthorize, it works again.
I followed all your steps.

Any idea? Or should I contact Qlik for this?

Hi, @Wim , I’ve sent you a DM

Was there a good resolution here? I am having the same problem. Previously, I was prompted to re-authorize about once per month, now I'm having to do it daily. When I reauthorize, it works fine while I refresh the tasks manually on the server, but when the tasks are triggered by schedule, I get a failure email asking me to reauthorize again.

Any insight would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Jason,

Instead of sending the qvd's directly to Qlik, we used Google Drive as an intermediate.
So, It wasn't fixed.

The bug has been fixed. Please install updated versions of EasyMorph Desktop (and Server, if necessary) from our website.

After installation, re-authorize the Qlik connector(s).
