MobiControl's SOTI Hub payload enables you to configure application and content repository settings for SOTI Hub. SOTI Hub ensures that access to corporate files outside an organization's internal network is available only to employees' devices that are managed by MobiControl.
Note
SOTI Hub was updated in MobiControl 13.2. If you are using SOTI Hub with MobiControl 13.0 or 13.1, use the guidelines provided below. If you are using MobiControl 13.2, go to SOTI Hub Settings.
To add a SOTI Hub payload to an Android or Android+ profile:
In the SOTI Hub Settings dialog box you can specify the following SOTI Hub application settings:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Description |
Enter a name for the SOTI Hub configuration. This name will be used as the description for the payload. |
| Inactivity Timeout |
Specify the maximum number of time units that can elapse, during which the user has not interacted with the SOTI Hub application, before the user is logged out of the application. To disable inactivity timeout for the application, enter '0'. Note: This setting applies only when the SOTI Hub application is accessing one or more content repositories requiring LDAP authentication. |
| Inactivity Timeout Unit |
Specify the unit of time to be used for the Inactivity Timeout value. |
| Content Refresh Interval |
Specify how often the SOTI Hub application will communicate with the content repository server(s) in order to refresh content. |

In the Content Repository dialog box you can specify the following content repository settings:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Repository URL |
Specify the URL that the SOTI Hub application will use to access the content repository server. A port number may be specified as part of the URL. If you plan on routing traffic through the Enterprise Resource Gateway, specify the internal URL used to access the content repository server. |
| Filter |

| Target Folder |
A target folder is a custom folder that you create within the SOTI Hub application. You can use target folders to segregate or merge content from different content repositories. If you specify a target folder, content from the repository will appear under the target folder within the My Library section of the application. If you do not specify a target folder, content will appear in the root folder of the My Library section of the application. |
