7.4.2 Registering Android Devices

There are two different ways you can provider to users to register an Android device.

  • Manual: Send your users an email with the URL to the IDP server including the correct port number. The users enter the IDP URL in the MobileAccess app by tapping the menu in the upper right corner of the MobileAccess app, then tapping Manage Accounts > + to enter the URL of the IDP in the Provider field. The URL is:

    https://IDP_server_dns_name:port

    For example:

    https://idp.acme.com:8443
  • HTML Page with Anchor Link: You can also create an HTML page that contains an anchor link that users click on to have the Provider field populated for them. The format of the anchor link is:

    <html>
      <body><a href="intent://x-callback-url/register?providerUrl= https://IDP_server_dns_name:port#Intent;scheme=comnetiqauth;package=com.netiq.mobileaccessforandroid;end;">Register</a></body>
    </html>

    For example:

    <html>
      <body><a href="intent://x-callback-url/register?providerUrl= https://idp.acme.com:8443#Intent;scheme=comnetiqauth;package=com.netiq.mobileaccessforandroid;end;">Register</a></body>
    </html>
