  • Copy client.pfx and server.pfx certificates from C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Repository\Exported Certificates[host] to the directory where you unzipped AccessControlTestModule. Note, if you are not using the Qlik Self Signed Certificate, then export your server.pfx from your OS's Certificate Manager program.
  • Edit config.js with the password, config.port, config.RESTURI, and config.REDIRECT of your choice
  • From the command prompt go to the directory where you unzipped AccessControTestModule and enter "node AccessControlTestModule.js"
