Create a Marketo connection

To access data stored on a Marketo database, you will need to know the server and database name that you want to connect to, and you must have access credentials. Once you have created a connection to a Marketo database, you can select data from the available tables and then load that data into your app or document.

In Qlik Sense, you connect to a DynamoDB database through the Add data dialog or the Data load editor.

Setting up the database properties

Database properties that can be configured
Database property	Description	Required
Host name	The IP address or host name of the Marketo server.	Yes
Port	Server port for the Marketo database.	Yes

Authentication

The Marketo connection can be authenticated with OAuth or with an Access Token.

Authentication properties that can be configured for OAuth
Authentication property	Description	Required
Scope	The scope for the OAuth request.	Yes
Client ID	The client ID associated with your Marketo service.	Yes
Client Secret	The client secret associated with your Marketo service.	Yes

Account properties

Credentials

Credentials are used to prove that a user is allowed to access the data in a connection.

There are two types of credentials that can be used when making a connection in Qlik Sense SaaS. If you leave the User defined credentials check box deselected, then only one set of credentials will be used for the connection. These credentials belong to the connection and will be used by anyone who can access it. For example, if the connection is in a shared space, every user in the space will be able to use these credentials. This one-to-one mapping is the default setting.

If you select User defined credentials, then every user who wants to access this connection will need to input their own credentials before selecting tables or loading data. These credentials belong to a user, not a connection. User defined credentials can be saved and used in multiple connections of the same connector type.

In the Data load editor, you can click the Primary key underneath the connection to edit your credentials. In the hub or Data manager, you can edit credentials by right-clicking on the connection and selecting Edit Credentials.

See which authentication type applies on each connector's page.

Account properties that can be configured
Account property	Description
User defined credentials	Select this check box if you want users that access this connection to have to input their own credentials. Deselect this check box if credentials can be shared with anyone who has access to this connection.
New credentials	Drop-down menu item that appears if User defined credentials is selected.
Existing credentials	Drop-down menu item that appears if User defined credentials is selected.

Trusted Certificate	The full path to the SSL certificate if it is not stored in the standard system location.	Yes, if certificate is not stored in the standard system location. Only available when SSL is enabled.
Use Host Verification	This option specifies whether the Marketo connector requires the host name in the server's certificate to match the host name of the server when connecting over SSL.	Yes, if certificate is not stored in the standard system location. Only available when SSL is enabled.
Use Peer Verification	This option specifies whether the Marketo connector verifies the identity of the server when connecting over SSL.	Yes, if certificate is not stored in the standard system location. Only available when SSL is enabled.

Load properties that can be configured
Property	Description	Required
Max String Length	Maximum length of string fields. This can be set from 256 to 16384 characters. The default value is 4096. Setting this value close to the maximum length may improve load times, as it limits the need to allocate unnecessary resources. If a string is longer than the set value, it will be truncated, and the exceeding characters will not be loaded.	No
