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.
