MobiControl 15.5.1 Release Notes
Upgrade Considerations
- In SOTI MobiControl version 15.5.0 onwards, “GetDeviceGroupConfiguration” and “ApplyDeviceGroupConfiguration” APIs will require “Configure Devices/Device Groups” permission. This permission is automatically assigned to MobiControl Administrators, MobiControl Technicians and MobiControl Viewers roles. Custom roles must have the “Configure Devices/Device Groups” permission granted manually.
- If you are using an older version of Cloud Link Agent (CLA) (e.g.,1.x, 2.x ,3.x or 4.0), you must upgrade to CLA 4.1. Before upgrading, you must uninstall the older version of CLA. If CLA 4.1 is not set up with SOTI MobiControl 15.5.0, any operation or functionality related to LDAP and ADCS will not work.
- Windows CE/Mobile devices that reset to their default factory settings may be unable to reconnect to SOTI MobiControl 15.5.0 or later due to device date and deployment server binding certificate date being out of sync. Before you upgrade or generate a new certificate binding, you may need to set up a Network Time Protocol/Simple Time Network Protocol (NTP/SNTP) server. Having the SOTI MobiControl agent or device contact an NTP/SNTP server before connecting to SOTI MobiControl allows devices to retrieve the current date and time. Impacted devices can then connect to SOTI MobiControl successfully once they reset to the factory default date and time.
