Hi All, We are using SOTI V13 with majority android plus devices. We are struggling to get vendors to provide us with APKs to push to our devices and provide updated APKs when required. I see we can put them in an "app catalogue" but this seems to just provide a link to a play store but the majority of our devices are shared devices in lockdown. I've also see within mobile iron you can pull an APK in from the play store. does anyone have any suggestions / advice?
Hi all - One our customers recently reported an issue to us where their users have a workaround for getting around our kiosk lock screen and logging into the Guest account to access YouTube, Netflix, etc... which are typically blocked via our profiles pushed out to all devices. Since I have a profile that blacklists applications pushed down to every device, why would this no hold true when switching to the Guest profile? All of the blacklisted apps appear when in Guest mode. Is there a way I can disable or prevent access to the Guest account via MobiControl? This is a huge liability as our application is used in vehicles in the logistics industry.
Hi all, looking to launch a chrome custom tab or incognito tab for an webmail link, currently we use intent://[URL HERE]#Intent;scheme=https;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;component=com.android.chrome;end but everytime this is pressed from the lockdown it causes a new tab to open which leads to lots of tabs and data being saved ie passwords and cookies etc. any help would be appreciated thanks
Hi there, I am wondering if anyone has successfully placed a SOTI script on the SOTI Lockdown utility on MobiControl 13.4. I have attempted to accomplish this but delivering a script file to the desired device then reference that file in the Lockdown config but when tapping on the created hyperlink, it either doesn't have any response or states the file is incorrect. My script kills an app then starts it when executed. I have validated the script syntax by sending it manually to the device. The Device Script Commands seems to imply this is possible based on the attached screenshot but I would like more clarification on what the file extension of the script file being delivered needs to be and which initialization method I need to use specific to scripts. (Launch://, File://, etc)
I have an item on a lockdown device calling 'action://CONFIGURE_WIFI' but I don't want everybody to be able to change the wifi settings, is there a way to password protect it?
From the Mobicontrol Online help, under the section "Android+ Device Lockdown" I realized that it is possible to create a link and give access to users for executing Mobicontrol action: - action:// - Executes a MobiControl action. To change the device password, use action://CHANGE_DEVICE_PASSWORD. To configure WiFi, use action://CONFIGURE_WIFI. is there any other action that can be used, I could not find any more information from the Online help.
Different level of customizations available in Android lockdown and what are billable activities out of that.
Occasionally, some of customers would need to customize the builtin LOCKDOWN kiosk template, which is a HTML file. How to do that?
