Change the Qalyptus Server service user

After installing Qalyptus Server, you might want to change the Qalyptus Server service user. To change the service user, do the following:

  • Ensure that the new user is a local Administrator user
  • Connect to the machine where Qalyptus Server is installed
  • Open Windows Services
  • Right-click on the Qalyptus Server service and select Properties
  • In the Properties, select the Log On tab
  • Enter the new user account and password
  • Click Apply then OK
  • The service will start with the new user account

Qalyptus Server service log on

Because the Qalyptus Server service user is changed, please ensure that the new user has a Qlik Sense certificate installed on his profile and install it if it doesn't exist.

  • Open Qalyptus Server Configuration with the new user. You can log out and log in with the new user or Run the program as different user (Shift and right-click)
  • Go to the Qlik Sense Certificates tab
  • An information message will display and indicate if the new user needs a Qlik Sense certificate
  • If the message says that the user does not need a certificate, do nothing and close Qalyptus Server Configuration
  • If the user needs a certificate, export the certificates from the Qlik Sense QMC and add the client.pfx in this screen, then click Install Certificate

Qalyptus Server Configuration -certificate

info

Remember that Connections created in Qalyptus Desktop without specifying the Qlik Sense user will use the Qlik Sense service user as a Qlik Sense user. To avoid issues, please add a Qlik Sense user to your connection or ensure the Qalyptus Server service user has a Qlik Sense license and the necessary permissions to access the Qlik Sense app.
