Hi, We are trying to publish Google Sites using Soti Surf on a couple of locked down devices. sites.google.com is already whitelisted. Everything works well except when accessing external links on the sites pages. Google Sites replaces the direct links with Google redirect links that starts with "https://www.google.com/url?q=". For testing purposes, www.google.com has also been whitelisted. Clicking on external links with the Google redirect links give the "access denied" error message. However, doing a long press on the links and choosing "open in new tab" works perfectly. What else should be whitelisted to allow opening of links with Google URL redirects in this scenario? Regards, D.
Hello community, i have the following issue, that the remote control will not show the scanner with Soti Assits (Web based). With the plugin it works.It is only one scanner who has that issue. The scanner is in the same network. Also a Factory reset did not help. Does some know how to fix the issue? Modell: Zebra MC93OS Version: Oreo 8.1.0Agent Version: 14.5.0.1011Remote Control Version: 1.18.2.100
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?
Hello! we plan to upgrade Mobicontrol 15.1 to version 15.3 and want to know if someone did encounter any issues with the latest version during the update and after the update? Are there some known issues or bugs in the MC 15.3 version? I would appreciate any answer. Thanks! Vasa
Hi all, I have a demo cloud account for MobiControl and am trying to authenticate against the REST API. But I cannot get the token as the API response is: b'{"error":"invalid_grant"}' Here is my Python code: import requests from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth clientId = "43d..." clientSecret = "Lo6..." clientAuth = HTTPBasicAuth(clientId, clientSecret) username = "ksemba@demo.com" userpassword = "thepassword" payload = "grant_type=password&username=" + \ username + "&password=" + userpassword tokenURL = "https://s115236.mobicontrolcloud.com/MobiControl/api/token" headers = {"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"} r = requests.post(tokenURL, headers=headers, auth=clientAuth, data=payload) print(r.content)
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!
Hello, Does anyone know how to run scripts correctly in pre/post context with SOTI packages? For instance, I want SOTI to launch a program after running an installer. If I type the command in cmd the program launches fine. If I run it through SOTI's "Send Script" or in a install script, it does nothing. My understanding is SOTI launches and runs commands under the current user, so if I can run it manually without an admin prompt it should work. Thanks!
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?

Morning all. i have enrolled several devices using afw#mobicontrol which has worked fine. devices are honeywell EDA71 tablets using android 8.1. i did not realise that enrolling devices in this way removes loads of the pre installed applications. after some frantic searching on google and the forums i found i was able to send the device a script to reenable some of these apps. the one in question for me is the camera. i am sending this script enable_system_app org.codeaurora.snapcam however this has only worked on approximately 70% of the devices. is there any reason why this script does not always work? thanks Daryl
When we try to access out internal site, we received this warning error "There's a problem with this website security certificate. Proceed anyway" We have a certificate that we can install to fix this error If we access the link to the certificate manually, from the device, we could download the certificate and install it My problem now is, I need to deploy this to multiple devices, so I need this done via a profile or a script I did assigned a profile to keep the certificate in the SD card and tried to import it, but it did not installed properly The script i use to run them is as below, but none of them seems to work certimport -cert "/sdcard/xxxx" -ctype cert certimport -cert "/sdcard/xxx" -ctype certificate_type -itype "install_type" certimport -cert "/sdcard/xxx" -ctype certificate_type -itype "install_type" -storage "storage_type" Certificate is a chain, private root CA and private TLS CA certificate The manual installation will put the certificate here in this location Settings > Security > Trusted Credentials > User When I used the certimport script, it will move my cert from the SD card, but I dont know where it went And the warning will still be there, and the certificate are not in the desired place. Any advise on how I can have these certificate install automatically? Thank you
