    Inject a Device Identifier as HTTP Header from Managed Android Devices for F5 Firewall Access Control (using F5 Access app)

    Hi everyone, We are managing a fleet of Android devices (running android 11 and above) using SOTI MobiControl and are looking to enforce a security policy where only authorized devices can access a service exposed through our F5 firewall’s public IP address. The plan is to configure each device to send a unique identifier (such as Device ID, IMEI, or Serial Number) in a custom HTTP header with every request. The F5 will inspect this header and allow access only for devices with approved identifiers (using an iRule). We already had some iRules set up before Android 10 (Api level 29) when access to device Identifier was open.Is there any way to implement this? Thanks for the help.Kind Regards

    DB migration errors Solved

    Hello, I have migrated our SOTI Dbs (MobiControlDB, MobiControlDB_Archive, MobiControlDB_Signal, SotiAssist) from one dedicated DB-server to another DB-server. All on-prem.Old SQL: 2019New SQL: 2022 The problem now is that the "Mobicontrol Deployment Service" does not run properly. All other services are running smoothly. I can access the web console but I do not get any contact with any device. I have already ruled out any port errors. Everything works good again if I switch back to the old DB-server. Any help regarding this would be invaluable.

    custom attributes or custom data for assigning property/values to an application

    Hi, Is there any way via example custom attributes or custom data, to set 3 different values to an application?For example, the application (we install via MC) we have has 3 values that needs to be filled in at first start. One of the values is unique per device. Is there any way to automate this via SOTI MobiControl instead of manually having to enter this? The device is a Sunmi P2 Lite SE, Android Classic Thanks

    Web Console Admins not able to log back in after time out

    Hello all, I have On-Prem Version 2024.1.0.1052 currently. We are having issues where some of our admins will get kicked out of the Web Console Session due to time out and won't be allowed back in for a decent amount of time. Has anyone seen that? Any ideas to fix?

    Not able to open PDF files from within custom app in Lockdown

    Hi, I have read almost every thread/discussion for opening PDF files here. But I'm still not able to open PDF files from within our main custom app. When custom app .apk is installed on clean tablet (without SOTI), the app is able to download requested pdf from our server and when I try to open the file, pop-up is displayed offering to choose between two apps: Browser and Samsung notes. Then the file is dipslayed. When SOTI is installed, clicking on the downloaded file does not bring any responce. It does not matter if i'm in user or admin mode. Our profiles for these tablets have lockdown. The com.google.android.apps.pdfviewer is added (Launch://com.google.android.apps.pdfviewer) to the lockdown, and I'm able to open all .pdf files from Library. Also if I upload the same pdf files (the ones I download within the custom app) the same google pdf viewer is used when I try to open the files from Download folder in file manager and files are displayed. SO, the files are OK, I think the Lockdown configuration is OK. What is bugging me is that on clean tablet the app is offering to open the files with Browser or Samsung notes, not with the PDF viewer. Is it possible that the app is not programed right? That the click action is sending the wrong "message" to the Android OS? I don't know nothing about Android coding, so my questions are pure speculation... Or I really miss some in debth setting in Lockdown configuration? Our environment: Tablets: SAMSUNG-SM-T545, Android 11 Agent Version  15.0.1.1051 Self hosted SOTI mobicontrol v. 15.5.0.1021

    Finding all devices with a Custom Attribute directly set (i.e. not Inherited from a group)

    For context: we're setting up a workflow wherein we install a package using a custom attribute's value set to a version number. After testing on a few devices, we'll set a "default" version at the root Group level, so all devices will get the newest version. Once that's done, we'll want to clear out the custom attribute on the test devices, so they inherit from the "default" version once again. That would give us a clean testbed for future upgrades. I'm looking for a way to find all devices that have the custom attribute set directly, not inherited from a group. But I don't see a way to query this from the console, or from the API, or even in the database directly. Any advice?

    BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE not granted via permission

    Hi, We're using Datalogic Memor 35 devices and are trying to grant BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE permission to a specific app. The Datalogic plugin is installed with the latest version. We've tried all kinds of variations of this script: request_appops_permission android.permission.BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE allow <packageName> With and without android.permission prefix, as a standalone script to device or as post-install script on that package, with lockdown and without lockdown configured, with and without insideagent prefix. The SOTI MobiControl agent does have that specific permission but for some reason our app cannot receive that permission delegated by the SOTI agent.  We do see that the OS recognizes the app as option for this permission; as we can grant it manually via settings outside lockdown mode. Version: 2025.0.2.1059 Any help is appreciated. Kind regards, Jeroen
