Soti Surf - Local HTML

Due to various reasons we need to be able to acces a local html page that contains javascript on our devices.
However I can't seem to add file:/// or file:// in the soti surf config. it only allows http and https.

I know its a strange setup working with local html pages but the local html page passes a unique identifier to the real urls that are used by the users. So I can't make the .html accessible with a webserver because there is a minor difference in the .html for each device.

So is it possible to access a local .html file using soti surf? And if not, is it possible using another browser that is in a sort of kiosk mode? We are using the android lockdown to lock down our devices.

I am a bit confused.  If you are using Android lockdown, you can use file:// in your lockdown profile configuration to reference file in local directory.

Also, if you have only very small difference(s) for each device, it may be possible to use custom attribute(s) and/or default Mobicontrol macro(s) in your generic lockdown html template file defined in your lockdown profile.  Just assign different value for the custom attribute of each device to cater for the difference(s).

There have been many enhancements being added to Soti Surf every few months.  What are the version and build numbers of your MobiControl server?  What about those for the device agent(s) deployed to your devices?  And those of the Soti Surf application you are using?

Raymond, thankyou for your answer.

I'm not using file:// because when I use that the local .html opens with the android webview and javascript does not work in that browser rendering our local .html useless.

I have noticed some nice additions regarding macros/attributes in soti surf. Unfortunately we are still running on a server 2012 so upgrading to the latest soti version takes some work. We are working on it but it will take some time. Our current version is 15.0.2.1049
