Custom URL Scheme (Android)

(imported topic written by ShigeT)

Hi,

I want to use “Custom URL Scheme”.

(https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/wikis/home?lang=en#/wiki/Tivoli%20Endpoint%20Manager/page/Custom%20URL%20Scheme)

But it does not work well in Android.

Verification procedure is as follows.

  1. install Mobile Client

  2. Launch browser app(e.g. opera)

  3. Enter the following URL

bigfix://pre-enroll?server=

=> the following error was displayed in the Mobile Client

“Registered URL is invalid”

It works correctly with the same URL in iOS.

I tried it in Android 2.2 and 4.0.

Thanks,

Shige

Hi Shige,

I was able to reproduce this.

The problem is that this feature was originally intended to allow browsers

to complete the final steps of the enrollment process. Initiating the

enrollment process using bigfix:// URLs was not part of the original plan.

The good news is that everything works fine when I remove the check so we’ll

keep testing it for a couple of days and should everything go ok then we’ll

include this fix in the 2.1 Android agent (to be released around the end of March).

Cheers

Miguel

I see.

OK! Thanks!
