New Qlik Data Gateway – Direct Access version

Qlik Data Gateway – Direct Access version 1.3.1 includes the CA bundle for Qlik Cloud Government and resolves several issues.

CA bundle file for Qlik Cloud Government

The CA bundle authenticates the identity of the Qlik Cloud tenant, thereby ensuring a trusted connection.

In previous Direct Access gateway versions, the CA bundle file for Qlik Cloud Government customers was provided by Qlik as needed. From this version, the CA bundle file is included in the installation.

In a default setup, the CA bundle file is installed to the following location: C:\Program Files\Qlik\ConnectorAgent\caBundle]qcg_ca_bundle.pem

For more information, see Installing Qlik Data Gateway – Direct Access.

Resolved issues

• A security vulnerability was identified whereby the HTTP client used for proxy connectivity would follow a redirect.

• The Direct Access gateway agent would sometimes crash with the following error:

  Unable to write data to the transport connection: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine

• An exception would sometimes occur during log initialization, which would cause the Direct Access gateway to hang on restart.
• Reload session handling was improved to prevent unnecessary timeouts.
• The Direct Access gateway Version column in the Administration activity center would indicate the wrong version.
• The agent would continue to send data to the gateway after the user stopped the task or the quota limit was reached.
• End-to-end encryption for Data Gateway would not be enabled by default and was controlled by runtime flags.
