New security properties for the Qlik REST Connector

The Qlik REST Connector has new security properties in the connection dialog. Existing connections
must be modified to conform to the requirements of the new properties.

The Qlik REST Connector supports the ability to include HTTP headers in the response object.
Starting with the November 2017 release (version 1.2 of the REST Connector), loading of the headers
does not happen by default. It must be explicitly allowed. Existing connections that load the response
headers must be reconfigured with the Allow response headers parameter.
