Ports in a default Qlik Sense installation
The following figure provides an overview of the ports that are used in a default Qlik Sense installation.
The superscript numbers in the figure refer to the following:
- The Authentication (ticket) API in the Qlik Sense Proxy Service (QPS). For information on the Authentication API, see the Qlik Sense Proxy Service API documentation.
- The Session API in the QPS. For information on the Session API, see the Qlik Sense Proxy Service API documentation.
- For example, a Single Sign-On (SSO) portal that uses the Session API. For information on the authentication solutions available, see Authentication solutions topic.
- This port is used when the slave Qlik Sense Scheduler Service (QSS) is located on the central node in the Qlik Sense site.
- This port is used when the slave QSS is located on a node other than the central node.
The following table provides details on the ports in the figure.
