Changing URL schema from http to https

Question

For test purposes, we installed Headwind MDM on the port 8080 and it works well.

After that, we set up SSL certificates and the web panel works by https.

However QR code is no more generated, it attempts to open HTTP port 8080 which is now disabled.

Answer 1

1. Update the parameter base.url in the XML config file (/var/lib/tomcat9/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml), it should be https://your-mdm.com instead of http://your-mdm.com:8080. Restart Tomcat to apply changes:

service tomcat9 restart

2. Manually change URLs of all APKs. 

2.1. Open the Applications tab, and uncheck the checkbox "Show system apps". 

2.2. For each application, click the "Versions" icon

2.3. Update the URL(s) for the latest available version.

Comments

Should we update the URL server on the devices after switching to HTTPS? What should we do if we have multiple device install already?

Add the new URL to the "New server URL" field, in the configuration details, MDM settings. You can also change the server URL on a mobile device manually: type and hold the key icon on the Headwind MDM launcher desktop, then click "Change server URL".
