# How to generate authentication certificates
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OpenMetadata Uses [Qlik Engine APIs](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/May2023/Subsystems/EngineAPI/Content/Sense_EngineAPI/introducing-engine-API.htm) to communicate with Qlik Sense and fetch relevant metadata, and connecting to these APIs require authentication certificates as described in [these docs](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/May2023/Subsystems/EngineAPI/Content/Sense_EngineAPI/GettingStarted/connecting-to-engine-api.htm).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In this document we will explain how you can generate these certificates so that OpenMetadata can communicate with Qlik Sense.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Step 1: Open Qlik Management Console (QMC)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open your Qlik Management Console (QMC) and navigate to certificates section.

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Step 2: Provide Details and Export Certificates
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. In the Machine name box, type the full computer name of the computer that you are creating the certificates for: MYMACHINE.mydomain.com or the IP address.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Using a password is optional. If you choose to use a password, the same password applies to exported client and server certificates.
|
||
|
|
a. Type a password in the Certificate password box.
|
||
|
|
b. Repeat the password in the Retype password box.
|
||
|
|
The passwords must match.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Select Include secret key if you want to add a secret key to the public key.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. From the *Export file format for certificates* field select the "Platform independent PEM-format"

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Step 3: Locate the certificates
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you have exported the certificates you can see the location of exported certificates just below the certificate details page. When you navigate to that location you will find the `root.pem`, `client.pem` & `client_key.pem` certificates which will be used by OpenMetadata.
