# 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.

### Importing Qlik Client certificate

Secondly, we'll import the newly exported certificate to the Qommentary server.

1\. Double-click on the client.pfx certificate or right-click and choose **Install PFX**\
2\. Choose **Local Machine** as the store location and click Next

4\. Leave the default option selected and click **Next**

![](/files/-M4i49JnPoRsFfaYOufu)

5\. Click **Finish** to finalize the certificate import wizard

You should now see the Qlik client certificate imported in the Personal Certificates folder
