Proxies properties

The following property groups are available for proxies.

Identification

The Identification property group contains the basic proxy properties in the Qlik Sense system.

All fields are mandatory and must not be empty.

Property Description Default value

Node

The proxy name. Inherits the node name.

Ports

The Ports property group contains the proxy ports properties in the Qlik Sense system.

Property Description Default value
Service listen port HTTPS (default)

The secure listen port for the proxy, which by default manages all Qlik Sense communication.

Information noteMake sure that port 443 is available for the Qlik Sense Proxy Service (QPS) to use because the port is sometimes used by other software, for example, web servers.
443
Authentication listen port HTTPS (default)

The secure listen port for the default (internal) authentication module.

4244
Kerberos authentication Select to enable Kerberos authentication. Not selected
REST API listen port The listen port for the proxy API. 4243
Allow HTTP

Unencrypted communication is allowed if the proxy property Allow HTTP is selected. This means that both https (secure communication) and (http) unencrypted communication is allowed. Then the QMC address is https://<QPS server name>:Service listen port HTTP/qmc (where https can be replaced by http). By default the QMC address is https://<QPS server name>/qmc.

Warning noteIf you change the property Allow HTTP, please know that all web browser bookmarks (that Qlik Sense users or QMC admin users have created) will not be valid anymore.
Information noteThe Service listen port HTTP and Authentication listen port HTTP need to be set when Allow HTTP is checked.
False (not allowed)
Service listen port HTTP

The unencrypted listen port, used when HTTP connection is allowed.

80
Authentication listen port HTTP The unencrypted authentication listen port, used when HTTP connection is allowed. 4248

The Advanced property group contains the advanced proxy properties in the Qlik Sense system.

Property Description Default value
Max header lines The maximum number of lines in the header. 100
Max header size (bytes) The maximum total header size. 16384 bytes
Keep-alive timeout (seconds)

The maximum timeout period for a single HTTP request before closing the connection. Protection against denial-of-service attacks. This means that if an ongoing request exceeds this period, Qlik Sense proxy will close the connection. Increase this value if your users work over slow connections and experience closed connections.
