Creating connections

Last updated: 2026-11-03

This section outlines how to create environment connections within the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool.

The following connection types can be created:

• Source connections: Qlik Sense Client-Managed, QlikView, and Qlik NPrinting
• Target connections: Qlik Cloud

QlikView conversion uses the QV2QS converter directly and no longer needs a connection. The Qlik Sense Converter connection type is no longer offered. An existing Qlik Sense Converter connection still loads and can be edited, but a new one cannot be added.

Connection security

The following applies to all connection types:

• The option to accept any certificate turns off certificate and host name validation. The server identity is then unverified, and credentials are readable in transit. Use this option only when you accept these risks.
• Redirects are not followed on any Qlik connection.
• A URL with a non-HTTP scheme, or a URL that points to a link-local address, is refused before any credential is sent.
