It may be necessary to create a self-signed certificate for use with QlikView, either with the QlikView Webserver or Microsoft IIS.
The instructions provided in this article show one possible method.
Create the certificate using OpenSSL
- Download OpenSSL (OpenSSL Binaries)
- Launch a command line on the machine where the certificate will be used
- Generate a private key with:
openssl genrsa 2048 > private.pem
Note: For additional assistance on the use of OpenSSL, refer to the third-party vendor.
- Generate the certificate with:
openssl req -x509 -days 1000 -new -key private.pem -out public.pem
Note: For additional assistance on the use of OpenSSL, refer to the third-party vendor.
