Auto Config for MDM

ProGlove Auto Config is a file-based configuration method which allows for large scale deployments as well as single application configuration. Auto Config works by deploying a configuration file on a specific Android local storage path, either via your Mobile Device Management (MDM) or directly pushing it on your device.

Configure and Export

The prerequisite is to have the PG Connect App installed on your mobile device.

To generate an Auto Config file (.pgconfig) for future deployments, you first need to configure PG Connect App (using the PG Work icon to access the configuration UI) and configure your application on an Android test device. Once you are done you can export these configurations. To do so, please tap on the Export Auto Config button in the submenu. Confirm the path where you want the .pgconfig file to be stored or transfer it directly on your computer for further use.

Import Your Configuration via MDM

To import the config file, push the config file to /sdcard/Android/data/de.proglove.connect/files/ProGloveConfig.pgconf (this does NOT require setting the storage permission beforehand). Please make sure your config file has the exact name ProGloveConfig.pgconf. After the file has been added to the correct file, the ProGlove Connect App must be completely stopped. To do this, on your Android device:

• Go to Settings
• Apps
• ProGlove Connect and click Force Stop

On the next start of the application, the config will file be implemented automatically.

Once the file is imported, it will be removed from it's original location and moved to /sdcard/Android/data/de.proglove.connect/files/handledConfig/ProGloveConfig.pgconf.

Afterwards if you want to make configuration changes, you can always put a new file to /Android/data/de.proglove.connect/files/ProGloveConfig.pgconf. On the next start of the application, it will be read automatically.

Caution: Please note that any change in the Workflow Rules or Integration Path after Auto Config deployment will overwrite previously configured rules.

ProGlove Config Lockdown

AirWatch:

Don't add anything to the launcher. Instead, add a Custom Settings in the profile, and paste the following XML in. This will add just the PG Work app.

    <characteristic type="com.airwatch.android.androidwork.launcher" uuid="568bc89d-1df8-4ce9-a041-e5a24acdb7ec">

    <parm name="CustomShortcuts" 
    value="{'CustomShortcuts': [{'name':'PG Work','pName':'de.proglove.connect','cName':'de.proglove.coreui.activities.PairingActivity'}]}"/>

    </characteristic>

SOTI:

Put this as the application you want to launch in the lockdown screen:

Launch://de.proglove.connect/de.proglove.coreui.activities.PairingActivity
