# Client Certificates

The Qlik Sense Client certificate is required for Qommentary Engine to authenticate successfully with the Qlik Sense APIs.

### Exporting Qlik Sense certificates

Firstly, let's export the Qlik Sense certificates to a new folder:

1\. Login to QMC\
2\. Go to the **Certificates** section\
3\. Fill out the required Export information

![Export certificates](/files/-M4hW7Uc8Ag1rCUk_0iE)

{% hint style="success" %}
Make sure you tick the *Include secret key* option.
{% endhint %}

4\. Open the disk location where certificates were exported and copy the **client.pfx** certificate to the server where Qommentary will be hosted.
