4.1 Log In Configuration Overview


Note:

If you downloaded your mobile applications from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, you must complete the tasks listed in this chapter. If you did not download your applications, these tasks are not required.

After downloading the JDE Mobile application from the Apple App Store (iOS) or from Google Play (Android), the user must configure the application during initial log in to connect to the mobile application server where the ADF mobile applications are deployed.

Contact your system administrator to get the configuration server to address needed to perform the configuration. This server is the http or WebDAV server that contains a connections.xml file. The ADF server where the mobile applications are deployed is referenced inside the connections.xml file. Do not attempt to configure the application with the URL of the ADF server.
