Configuration setup

Setting a deployment network

To deploy your configuration, you can define the network that will be used during the deployment process only. This network can come either from the actual Internet connection of the host workstation or from a Wi-Fi network that you must specify. It is specific to the workstation used for deploying and can be configured from the application settings. You can at any time enable or disable the network using the Use deployment network feature.

Using the host connection

Java 8 is required to use this feature.

To use the Internet connection of your host workstation:

1. From the home screen, click
2. Select tab Deployment network.
3. In Network type, select Host connection.
4. If you do not want to use the default Google DNS servers, you can specify custom DNS servers in the corresponding field. You must separate them with commas.
5. If you are behind a proxy, enter its type, host and port in the corresponding fields.
6. In Proxy exclusion list, you can define allowed hostnames or IPs. You must separate them with commas. Example: *.genymobile.com,1.2.3.4
7. Click Close to save your network.

Defining a Wi-Fi network

To define a Wi-Fi deployment network:

1. From the home screen, click
2. Select tab Deployment network.
3. In Network type, select Wi-Fi.
4. Enter the SSID, security type and password in the corresponding fields.
5. (Optional) If your Internet access is restricted by a proxy, In Proxy type, select HTTP.
   1. Enter the host and port in the corresponding fields.
   2. Define an exclusion list for websites for which access is not performed via the proxy (e.g. corporate Intranet).
6. Click Close to save your network.

Setting a proxy

If your company uses a proxy, to allow the Genydeploy application to communicate with the remote server, you must set the proxy:

1. From the home screen, click
2. Select tab Proxy.
3. In Type, select the type of proxy (none, HTTP or SOCKS).
4. Enter the host, port, username and password in the corresponding fields.
5. Click Close or to save your proxy.

Defining a license server

If you wish to manage licenses and user accounts by yourself, you must first install the web portal that works jointly with the Genydeploy application within your own infrastructure. Then, you must define the location of your license server.

To install the web portal within your infrastructure, please refer to the web portal installation guide.

To define the location of your license server:

1. From the home screen, click
2. Select tab License server.
3. Enable Custom server.
4. In Server URL, define the location of the web portal within your infrastructure. It must correspond to what you defined in menu Admin > Settings > server_url of the web portal.
5. Click Close.
