Connecting to the engine on a Qlik Sense environment is a little bit different as you will need to take care of authentication first. Authentication is handled in different ways, depending on how you have set up your server configuration, with the most common ones being:

• Ticketing
• Certificates
• Header authentication

Authentication also depends on where the code that is interacting with the Qlik Engine is running.

If your code is running on a trusted computer, authentication can be performed in several ways, depending on how your installation is configured and where the code is running:

• If you are running the code from a trusted computer, you can use certificates, which first need to be exported via the QMC
• If the code is running on a web browser, or certificates are not available, then you must authenticate via the virtual proxy of the server
