Configuration Keys​

InstanceUrls​

You can make use of this configuration key to distribute Orchestrator instance URLs to company-managed mobile devices. This saves your employees from memorizing or manually typing the web address in the Orchestrator app, which is prone to human error and generating unnecessary internal support headaches.

Through your MDM tool, URLs added to the app will appear in the app on the on-premises Login window.
