Customizing the Android Agent Download Location for Tenants

Do you want the users who are under the tenant foo1.com to download and install an Android agent that is different from the users under the tenant foo2.com? This document guides you on how to change the Android agent download URL among tenants. 

Follow the steps given below:

1. Make a copy of the cdmf.unit.device.type.android.type-view directory that is in the <IOTS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/devicemgt/app/units directory in the same directory.
2. Rename the newly copied file as follows: <TENANT_DOMAIN>.cdmf.unit.device.type.android.type-view .
   For example, if your tenant domain is foo.com the directory name needs to be foo.com. cdmf.unit.device.type.android.type-view.
3. Update the following files in the <TENANT_DOMAIN>. cdmf.unit.device.type.android.type-view directory.

   1. Open the type-view.js file and replace all the content in it with the following configurations:
      Update the enrollmentURL with the URL to download the agent.

      function onRequest(context) {
          var viewModel = {};
          var devicemgtProps = require("/app/modules/conf-reader/main.js")["conf"];
          var isCloud = devicemgtProps["isCloud"];
          viewModel["isVirtual"] = request.getParameter("type") == 'virtual';
          viewModel["isCloud"] = isCloud;
          viewModel["hostName"] = devicemgtProps["httpsURL"];
          viewModel["enrollmentURL"] = "http://abc.com";
          return viewModel;
      }

   2. Open the type-view.json file and replace all the content in it with the following configurations:

      {
          "version": "1.0.0",
          "extends": "cdmf.unit.device.type.android.type-view"
      }

      Why am I extending this unit?

      For this tutorial only the Android agent download URL changes. All the other content of the Android agent is the same. Therefore, all you need to do is extend the existing cdmf.unit.device.type.android.type-view unit.

What's next?

• Sign in to the Device Management console. The username needs to be in the following format <USERNAME>@TENANT_DOMAIN.
• Now, try enrolling an Android device and you see that the agent download URL has changed.
