Change the provisioning URL

You can change the provisioning server URL during or after initializing your Android Player. This may be necessary, for example, if you use your own provisioning server. There are two ways to do this:

• Change the URL via a configuration file

• Edit the URL in the InitBox

Change the URL via configuration file

To change the URL, perform the following steps:

1. Use a text editor to create a file named provisioning.conf.

2. In the configuration file, enter the URL of your custom provisioning server.

3. Save the file.

Place the file on the player

There are two ways to place the file on the player: manually or automatically.

Note

We recommend automating the process for larger rollouts across multiple players.

Manual installation

You can manually copy the file to the required folder using a USB drive or any other file transfer method.

Copy the file to the following location on the Android Player: /sdcard/Download/GF/config/provisioning.conf

Automated installation

You can automate the process by using Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to push the file to the correct location on the device.

To do so, perform the following steps:

1. Open the script file Install_gf_Tools_from_Android_[version]-on.bat.

2. Add the following command to copy the file to the Android device: adb push provisioning.conf  /sdcard/Download/GF/config/

3. Save your changes and close the file.

Edit the URL in the InitBox

You can also edit the provisioning server URL once you’ve installed and configured the Android Player. The player automatically opens the InitBox where you can do the following:

1. In the InitBox, click EDIT next to Provisioning host.

2. Enter you custom URL.

3. Continue the initialization, to connect player and server.
