    Lockdown mode and data security Solved Locked

    Hello All,This is a question from our Security team; We will be using Android based scanners, controlled by MobiControl. After configuring the WiFI (PSK) and other information we want to put the devices in Lockdown mode to prevent retrieval of that information, which could leave our WiFI potentially vulnerable in the event of device loss. What we want to know is how this lockdown mode is implemented in Mobicontrol. Is this proprietary code, or are Android lockdown features used. Is there information available how these features like lockdown and encryption are implemented? Thanks, Jan

    How to deploy Packages with split apk's

    I came across this discussion previously: https://discussions.soti.net/thread/packaging-split-apk-files/ We are currently using Android+, not Android Enterprise. Historically to deploy packages to our Samsung devices in Lockdown Kiosk, we would download the relevant application (free) onto a device via the Google Play Store, extract tha apk, bundle that apk into a MobiControl package, then upload it and deploy via a payload. Although there were potential drawbacks to this method, it did work for us as all the apps we deploy are free and the hardware is the same/similar, so never had any issues. It now appears more and more apps are being released with split apk's, so this method is no longer an option. Downloading a bundled apk from an unofficial "dirty" website (i.e apps.evozi.com etc) is not really a path I wish to go down. I was just wondering is it possible currently to somehow deploy packages with Android+ that come from the Google Play Store with split apk's, or how are people currently doing it in this scenario?

    How to downgrade packages in Android Enterprise? Solved

    Hello, I am having problems downgrading packages successfully in Android Enterprise. I cannot find any SOTI documentation on how to downgrade properly, only upgrade. If someone can please help me with this or point me in the direction of proper documentation I'd appreciate it. Specifics of my issue are as follows: Android 8.1 Zebra TC56 SOTI Version 14.4.1.1195  Agent version: 14.4.7.1084 Package installed via Android APK in SOTI Package Manager We have apps that have new versions roughly once a month. So for example I have an app with an April version I needed to roll back to February version. I can upgrade no problem, simply take the new APK, create package with higher version, upload, update in profile and done. However downgrading, I would THINK I should be able to simply select a lower version of the app in the profile and assign it. This results in an File IO error with no specifics. I then tried taking the older APK (since I keep archives) and repackaging it with a higher package version number, and this failed as well. The odd thing is if I force package reinstall, it works. But this action can only be done per device and we have 1000+ devices. I have also tried weirder things like syncing the apk as a file with a rule, then trying to run commands manually to install it. I've tried including a pre-install script in my package to remove any newer or older versions before installing, and this failed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    can we set the exit lockdown mode password via REST and SSL

    I see that to exit lockdown mode, one has to enter an Administration password that is created via an Authentication profile, presumably set up on the dashboard. How customizable is this password generation? Specifically, can we set it via REST and SSL, or is it only via the dashboard?

    Settings Manager Bug on Android

    This afternoon I loaded the latest Settings Manager (15.0.0 build 14) as it now supports Android 10 and 11. However, when I attempt to do anything in the app it tells me that I need MobiControl agent 14.4.7 or higher to use this feature. Okay, sure. I check my version of the agent and I'm at 14.5.0 build 1011 so I should be okay. Ideas? Anyone else seeing this?
