Connecting Qlik Enterprise Locally with DataHub - Authentication and Integration Options

Original Slack Thread

Hi all, is there anyone familiar with ingestion with Qlik Sense? According to the documentation, Datahub support Qlik in cloud via API key. However, Qlik enterprise locally doesn’t support API key, but certification with .pem format. Is there any other way to connect Qlik enterprise locally with datahub?

Regarding your question, the current documentation indicates that DataHub supports Qlik Sense in the cloud via API key authentication. However, for Qlik Enterprise locally, which uses certificate-based authentication with .pem files, there isn’t an official method documented for this type of connection.

According to <Slack Slack conversation>, there is no official connector for Qlik Sense, but some companies have built internal tools for extracting metadata from it. This suggests that while there may not be an out-of-the-box solution, custom solutions might be possible.

Would you like more detailed guidance on potential custom solutions or workarounds for connecting Qlik Enterprise locally with DataHub?
