Android Hexnode Kiosk Browser whitelist does not accept wildcard subdomainsSolved

I’m setting up an Android kiosk with Hexnode Kiosk Browser and need to allow only a few websites. I previously had this working in Chrome using app configurations, but I switched to Hexnode Browser for kiosk-specific features.

When I add the sites through app configurations, it doesn’t seem to affect Hexnode Browser. I also tried adding the website in the kiosk policy allowlist, but I can’t use wildcard entries for subdomains. The problem is that the site may use multiple prefixes/subdomains, and I may not know all of them in advance. Is there a supported way to allow something like all subdomains of a domain in Hexnode Kiosk Browser?

Hello @cameron ,

For Hexnode Kiosk Browser, website access is not controlled through App Configurations under App Management. App configurations apply to managed third-party apps such as Google Chrome.

For Hexnode Kiosk Browser, configure the allowed websites from the kiosk policy:

  1. Go to Policies and open the Android kiosk policy assigned to the device.
  2. Navigate to Kiosk Lockdown > Android Kiosk Lockdown > Website Kiosk Settings.
  3. Under Allowlist websites, add the URLs that should be accessible in Hexnode Kiosk Browser.
  4. Include the full URL for each required domain or subdomain.
  5. Also add any authentication, redirect, or SSO-related domains used by the site.
  6. Save the policy.
  7. Run a Scan device action or wait for the device to sync so the updated policy is applied.

Wildcard subdomain entries are not supported in the Hexnode Kiosk Browser whitelist at the moment. Each required subdomain must be added manually as a separate whitelist entry.
