Enrolling Linux Devices

Before you begin

Create an add devices rule.

About this task

To install the Linux device agent on your Linux devices:

Procedure

Copy the enrollment URL of the add devices rule from the Information pane of the Rules tab.
The enrollment URL is in the following format: serverAddress/Enroll/ruleID/install.sh
On the device, use the browser or command line (wget) to navigate to the enrollment URL.
Download the install.sh script to the device.
Alternatively, you can download the Linux agent installer from the SOTI MobiControl console.
1. On the Rules tab, right-click the add devices rule for which you want to generate a device agent and select Download Linux Device Agent.
2. Select the appropriate distribution version from the drop-down list and then click Download Installer to download the file to your computer.
3. Unzip the downloaded file and copy the extracted files to the device you want to enroll.
Run the device agent installer using the recommended installation method for your operating system. Generally, this includes running the install.sh script as a super user.

Results

The device agent will notify you once the installation is complete and the agent is connected to the server. Your Linux device is now enrolled to SOTI MobiControl.
