Checking the status of Qlik Sense services.

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.
Allow HTTP

Status values: Yes or No.

Yes: Unencrypted communication is allowed. This means that both https (secure communication) and (http) unencrypted communication is allowed.

Information noteFrom the February 2019 release, a suffix (-HTTP) is added to the session cookie header name when a user accesses the system over http.
Service listen port HTTP

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

Authentication listen port

The listen port for the internal authentication module.

Information noteWhen editing this port as a user without admin privileges, you need to run the repository in bootstrap mode before the changes take effect. See: Services
Kerberos authentication

Status values: Yes or No.

Yes: Kerberos authentication is enabled.

REST API listen port

The listen port for the proxy API.

Information noteWhen editing this port as a user without admin privileges, you need to run the repository in bootstrap mode before the changes take effect. See: Services
SSL browser certificate thumbprint

The thumbprint of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate that handles the encryption of traffic from the browser to the proxy. When editing a proxy certificate and the Qlik Sense services run with an account without administrator privileges (see Services), you need to configure the private key permissions for the certificate, (see Changing to a signed server proxy certificate).

Keep-alive timeout (seconds)

The maximum timeout period for a single HTTP/HTTPS 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.

Max header size (bytes) The maximum total header size.
Max header lines The maximum number of lines in the header.
