Configuring the Settings Manager App Using an XML Configuration File

About this task

You can also configure the Settings Manager app using a profile configuration.

To configure the Settings Manager app using an XML configuration:

Procedure

  1. In a text or XML editor, copy the XML sample below.
  2. Edit the settings to your requirements.
    A value of 1 enables the setting and a value of 0 disables the setting. See Settings Manager for an explanation of the settings.
  3. Save the file as *.xml.
  4. In SOTI MobiControl there are two ways to send this XML configuration file to your devices.
    • Create a File Sync Rule that pushes the XML configuration file to your devices.
    • Create a package and use a profile to send the XML configuration file to your devices.
  5. Send the XML configuration file to this location on your devices: /data/data/net.soti.mobicontrol.<OEM>/app_exposed/ .
  6. Use the following script command to apply the Settings Manager configurations to the device: sendinfo net.soti.settingsmanager.RECEIVE_COMMAND import_config </CONFIG_FILE_NAME> .
    See Using Script Commands for more information.

Results

The settings in the XML configuration file are read and applied by the Settings Manager app when the device enters lockdown mode.

Note: In the XML configuration file a value of 1 enables the setting and a value of 0 disables the setting. See Settings Manager for an explanation of the settings.
