Usage

Connecting with certificates

Invoking a cmdlet will trigger the Connect-Qlik command with default parameters, this will attempt to locate a certificate from the certificate stores. Alternatively a certificate can be piped into the cmdlet using built-in powershell cmdlets to retrieve the certificate from the Windows certificate store.

gci cert:currentuser\my | where { $_.friendlyname -eq 'QlikClient' } | Connect-Qlik sense-central
