  3. On the machine where the Web Services are installed, edit the RESEARCH HTTP Port in the Web config file. The file is located in the BriefCam Web Services installation folder (i.e. C:\Program Files\BriefCam\WebServices\ProWebApi), by updating QlikHttpPort value to the same port you have configured on the Qlik Management Console: <add key="QlikHttpPort" value="8090" />
