Configure Kiosk Mode

This topic provides steps to configure Operations Hub for kiosk mode.

Before you begin

You are an administrator.

Enter the details as described below:

Field	Description
Username	User name used for pre-authenticated application loading.
Password	Password for the user account.
Application URL	URL of the Operations Hub end-application.
Test Credentials	Select this button to test the pre-authentication in a new browser tab based on the credentials and application URL entered in the form. This test does not use persisted data (any data already saved to the device).

Select Save to save the entered login credentials and application URL to the client device.
To remove the saved data (persisted credentials) on the device, select Clear. This is useful when you want to clear sensitive data to re-purpose or decommission the client device.
Note: Clearing the browser cache also clears the kiosk pre-authorization credentials. If kiosk mode is required and you cleared the browser cache, then re-run the setup for kiosk mode.

The URL that appears at the bottom of the configuration form is the actual URL to start the Kiosk mode. You can copy the link to use at runtime. You may use this for testing, and note that the persisted data will be tested, unlike the Test Credentials button.
Once the device is properly configured, access the following URL using the browser on the client device:
https://ophub-host/app/autologin?kiosk

This is the same URL that appears at the bottom of the configuration form.

The persisted credentials are read from the device to start pre-authenticated application loading.
