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 @j_webb , we're looking into it
Hi Jason,
Instead of sending the qvd's directly to Qlik, we used Google Drive as an intermediate.
So, It wasn't fixed.
UPDATE
We're working on a fix. It should be available early next week.
Great...Thank you!!
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).
Awesome...installed updated versions and re-authorized...most recent scheduled tasks went off without issues...thanks for such a quick resolution...you and the team are great!!
Jason
Thank you for the update, Jason!
I can get the client to authorize, but when I test i get "Forbidden"
It's a known issue. We're going to fix it soon.
I discovered that even though clicking TEST fails with the "Forbidden" message,
It will perform Qlik actions such as upload a QVD file.
That's correct, the connector works, just the test feature doesn't work.
The bug has been fixed. Please install the updated version from our website.
Thank you, its working as intended.
Ive noticed that if the server restarts or the service is restarted it loses oAuth connection and has to be authorized again. Is there a workaround for that?
Server restarts shouldn’t affect the OAuth authentication status. I’ll ask the dev team to look at it.
