Can Hexnode push app login credentials to Android devices?Solved

Hi @eliiza,

Thank you for reaching out.

I understand why this can be confusing, especially when managing a large fleet of Android tablets and trying to avoid manual sign-ins on each device.

In most cases where administrators want to enforce a common login across devices, the feasibility depends not on Hexnode itself, but on whether the application supports Managed Configurations within the Android Enterprise framework.

For Hexnode to automatically configure app sign-in details, the following prerequisites must be met:

• The Android devices must be enrolled using Android Enterprise (Device Owner or Profile Owner) or as a non-Android Enterprise Device Owner.
• The application must support Managed Configurations, which are defined by the app developer. Many enterprise-grade apps such as Outlook, Zoom, and Chrome support this functionality.

When these requirements are met, Hexnode can push configuration values such as usernames, server URLs, or authentication tokens directly into the app, eliminating the need for users to manually enter credentials.

To configure this in Hexnode, you can review the following workflow:

1. Add and approve the application from Apps >+Add Apps > Managed Google Apps.
2. Navigate to Policies > New Policy > Create a fully custom policy > Android > App Management > App Configurations.
3. Click +Add new configuration, select your app, and you will see a list of fields provided by the app developer.
4. If supported, you can use Hexnode wildcards (for example, %email%) to dynamically populate user-specific values instead of hardcoding credentials.
5. Save the policy and associate it with the required target devices.

If the application does not support Managed Configurations, Hexnode cannot programmatically inject login credentials into the app. In such scenarios, using an enterprise password manager would be the recommended alternative.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions or need further clarification.
