Create the Qlik app

This topic describes how to create the Qlik app in Access Gateway.

Create the app in Access Gateway

  1. Sign in to the Access Gateway Admin UI console.
  2. Click the Applications tab.
  3. Click +Add.

  4. Select Qlik from the app menu, and then click Create.

Configure the app

In the Essentials pane, configure these options:

Field Value
Label The name of the app.
Public Domain The externally facing URL of the app, like https://qlik.<gateway.info>.
Protected Web Resource The URL and port combination of the Qlik app that you're protecting, like http://qlik.<internal.info>.
Group The group containing users who can access the Qlik app.

Configure load balancing

  1. Expand the Protected Web Resource tab.
  2. Enable Load Balancing By Access Gateway. A table of hostnames and weights representing the target load-balancing instances appears. This table is initially empty. Click the Edit icon to modify an entry in the table, or click the Delete icon to delete an entry.
  3. Choose either HTTP or HTTPS as the URL scheme. Each protected web resource that you add inherits this scheme.
  4. Optional. Enable and enter the Host Header value.
  5. Complete the following steps to add a host. Repeat these steps as required:
    1. Click Add protected web resource.
    2. Enter a fully qualified hostname:port combination, like for example, https://backendserver1.atko.com:7001.
    3. Enter a weight from 1 to 100. Enter 0 to specify that a host is disabled.
    4. Click Okay.

  6. Optional. Configure health checks. They use GET operations to confirm that back-end resources are functional. New requests aren't routed to resources that have been labeled unhealthy by the health checks.

    1. Enable Load Balancer Health Check.
    2. Click Edit to modify health check settings.
    3. Modify the settings as required.
