Hi Masentle,

Thank you for requesting an answer from Support Staff.

Please follow the steps mentioned below to integrate the Mobicontrol with REST API.

If you just want to exit/enter lockdown mode, do not mess with the device Administrator Password, as setting a device into administrator mode have much much more impact that turning off the lockdown/kisok-mode.  MANY OTHER deployed policies will also be suspended until the device goes back to the normal USER mode.  Hence,  forcing a device to ADMINISTRATOR mode should be done with care at all time, and exiting back to USER mode should be done a.s.a.p to avoid exposing various device securty loophole(s) while security policies are suspended.

 It is unfortunate that some posts in this forum have spread the wrong information or practices of turning off lockdown/kiosk with device Administrator password, or wrongly attributing the device administrator password as being added merely to support turning off/on of lockdown/kiosk.

There are other legacy/javacript script command dedicated to turning on/off lockdown/kiosk-mode.  Please look up the relevant online documentation for the verison of MobiControl you are using.  After making sure that the right script command works on your devices, you can use MobiControl RESTful API's to send the validated script for acheving what you need.

Alternatively, if your lockdown/kiosk-mode payload is included in a separate profile by itself, you have a simpler option of using the RESTful API's related to profile deployment/revocation to turn on/off lockdown.
