View and edit connections to mobile servers

If, for example, you want to change the type of connection or select another server as the default server, you can view and change settings for your connections to mobile servers.

  1. On the Servers screen:
    • Android - In the list of servers, tap for the relevant mobile server, then tap Edit to open the Edit server screen.
    • iOS - Tap Edit, then tap the relevant mobile server to open the Edit server screen.
  2. On the Edit server screen, view or edit the server settings:
    • Automatic connection - Enables you to connect to the mobile server even if the server address has changed. By default, this setting is enabled. If you disable the setting, you will lose all current connections to any servers you have saved.
    • Secure connection - Use HTTPS when you connect to a server. By default, the HTTPS connection is enabled.

      • If you want to use an HTTPS connection, a digital certificate from a certificate authority (CA) must be installed on your XProtect Mobile server. You cannot connect to the mobile server through your XProtect Mobile app if you use a self-signed certificate. If in doubt, ask your system administrator.

    • Server connections - Lists the available server addresses.
      • To add mobile server addresses manually, tap Add address. Enter the server address and the port number for the mobile server, and then tap Add address (Android) or Save (iOS).
      • To edit mobile server addresses:
        • Android - Tap for the relevant server address and tap Edit. Edit the address and the port number, and tap Save address.
        • iOS - Tap Edit, tap the relevant server address, and tap Edit. Edit the address and the port number, and tap Save.
      • To delete mobile server addresses:
        • Android - Tap for the relevant server address and tap Delete. Then, tap Yes to confirm.
        • iOS - Tap Edit, tap the red minus icon for the relevant server address, and tap Delete. Then, tap Done.
    • Default server - Enable the setting if you want to always connect to this mobile server when you start XProtect Mobile.
    • Save server settings - Tap the button to save your edits.
