    Admin Login Intent Android 14 Solved

    Hey Everyone, at the moment I am testing with an Zebra Android 14 device to find a solution for my "admin logout" button. It is displayed in my lockdown to leave it with the admin password. Since I updated the device to Android 14 the intent which is behind this button isn't working anymore. I use this intent: #Intent;action=net.soti.mobicontrol.admin.PASSWORD_DIALOG;i.dialog_type=1;endDoes anyone know which one I have to use with Android 14 or have another workaround? At the moment I put a .cmd file on the device which gets executed when I press to button. In it is the script: "_adminmode on". Unfortunately I don't have to enter the admin passoword anymore which doesn't fit the use case. Thank you for your help!

    Windows Modern Single App Kiosk mode

    I have made a profile for Windows 11, Windows Modern Single-App Kiosk Mode. In here I set the User Account, the SOTI SURF PFN, the Application ID I extracted with the MobiControlWindowsUtility. Now the device boots and starts KIOSK mode. But I get a black screen and don't know how to set the wanted URL I want SOTI SURF to start in. This should be remote manegable I think? Maybe someone could give me a push in the right direction?

    Start Soti Surf in Downloads activity from Android Lockdown

    Is there a posibility to start Soti Surf from a lockdown shortcut directly in Downloads screen? I'm using Surf for one of our internal web apps, and endusers are downloading pdf documents and photos. I'm looking for a way to give endusers access to that downloaded files (without access to other files, so shortcut for myfiles or other file explorers is a no go) Tried to check the activity for the Downloads screen in SOTI. Current activity name: net.soti.surf/.ui.activities.DownloadContentActivity Are there some sendintent scripts that could work? MC Version: 15.6.3.1018 Devices used: Zebra with Android 10/11/13 Thanks in advance

    Changing the default web browser in Windows Modern Lockdown kiosk?

    Hi, I cant solve this can anyone help? I am running SOTI to manage a Windows 10 terminal. I have the device locked using the Lockdown option as I need the end users to navigate to just a couple of specific URL's. This works fine until I open the item on the kiosk home screen and it wont load correctly. (See screen shots below) I have narrowed this down to it opening the URL with the default browser which is not correctly loading the website. How do I force the URL to be opened in a modern browser such as edge or chrome?  To confirm the website is active a we have no errors or issues connection outside of the SOTI kiosk / Lockdown config.

    Lockdown blocked on Android OS 12

    Running Samsung tablet with Android 12 and the kiosk lockdown is not getting installed from the Profile in the Configurations.  All permissions for SOTI are set to Allow on the tablet.  All other items in the Profile (wifi, wallpapers, authentication, etc) are installed and working correctly. What else needs to be set?  Is this OS blocking the LockDown?

    Dynamic Lockdown - Don't display icon if app doesn't exit Solved

    Hi, I am playing with the dynamic template in hopes of coming up with a solution to resolve an issue we are having with kiosks at the moment.  We are actively migrating our devices from one version of our application to a newer release which have different package IDs.  It's become very cumbersome to build and maintain 2 different profiles per customer device grouping and swapping them once we know an app has been updated.  If the profile swap doesn't happen or if we don't know a customer has migrated apps, they will then have a kiosk with no apps present until someone manually unassigns/assigns the profiles properly. I was hoping to utilize the dynamic HTML template and tweek it where I could add both application package IDs into the lockdown and the template would only display a link to an app if it actually exists on the device. I wasn't sure if anyone had experimented with a similar solution or had any other ideas.  Thanks

    Adding JotForm icons to Kiosk

    Have several JotForms created and want to have icons placed for those forms on the kiosk lock screen.  Bookmark option just bookmarks the website in Chrome app, but I'd like separate icons per form so the user does not have to search in Chrome on the android tablet.  How do I do this?

    Import images to templates - Lockdown Solved

    Good morning community!This is intended to ask for your help with the following; Profiles > In the profile settings, the Lockdown option, in the Templates module there are the options to customize the kiosks. Here, the question that arises is when importing images, if I already have images loaded, is it possible to download them or manage them as a File Manager? If I import a new image, why is it not saved in the existing images and is added directly to the lines of code?   Thanks for support!

    Script to grant All Files Access to an application

    Hello, I have some Samsung tablets in Kiosk mode that I deploy Microsoft Word and Excel via the Managed Google Play Store.When trying to open a document that lives on the tablet (/sdcard/Documents/) for the first time, Word or Excel shows a prompt "To browse Office files, photos, and media, you'll need to allow access to all files in Settings" Not Now | Go to Settings When I press Go to Settings from within a Kiosk screen, Kiosk blocks the settings page to enable Access to all files for Word / Excel. Exiting Kiosk does allow me to enable the permissions, however a user would not be able to grant those permissions from Kiosk mode if Kiosk is blocking the prompt. I did a bit of research for granting the permissions using a Legacy script, but have not been successful. I have tried these, but none of them granted the permission to Access all files:afw_set_permission_grant_state com.microsoft.office.word android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE allowafw_set_permission_grant_state com.microsoft.office.word android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE allowafw_set_permission_grant_state com.microsoft.office.word android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE allow Device: Samsung Tab A7 LiteAndroid 11SOTI MobiControl Agent version 15.1.5 1049SOTI MobiControl Console version 15.3 Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Remote Desktop Client - Launching specific machines in kiosk Solved

    Hi, We have a customer who will be running Remote Desktop in Kiosk mode to a machine and a workspace. Our intention is to add kiosk menu items that launch said PC and Workspace directly rather than presenting the Remote Desktop app itself. Normally, without Kiosk, the user would 'pin' the remote desktop widget to the Android home screen and launch from there, but I believe the kiosk screen doesn't support widgets. how would I go about creating this solution? Has anyone done this before? I've seen mention of an rdp file type with intent on another discussion but I have no experience in this so cannot look to implement. Thanks
