Lockdown (Linux)

Device lockdown replaces the standard device home screen with a custom home screen that provides access only to authorized applications and websites. See Lockdown | Using the Configuration for details on deploying the configuration to your devices.

This section contains the following topics:

Note: Requires Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04.

Device Control

Custom Home Screen

Important: Available home screen items are the authorized apps when a device is in Lockdown mode. Device Control home screen items and Speed Control home screen items are distinct. If you wish to have the same home screen items when using both Device Control and Speed Control, you must configure both screens.

Templates are HTML files that dictate how the device's home screen items display when in lockdown mode. You can use a template provided by SOTI MobiControl or create your own.

Lockdown Exit Password

Use this section to enter a password that the device must enter to exit lockdown.
