Remote Admin (PLUS) ​

You can manage your Fully Kiosk app remotely on devices in your local network or worldwide using VPN. If you have a PLUS license for your device this service is FREE of any charges.

Enable Remote Admin and specify a password in Fully Settings and connect in any web browser to http://ip-address-of-device:2323. You can make this connection HTTPS if you put a SSL certificate onto device (ver. 1.27+).

How to generate and put a self signed SSL certificate?

You need OpenSSL 3.x and some Linux knowledge to create a SSL certificate for the device. First create a root certificate (for signing other CAs) using a script like this:

openssl version
# OpenSSL 3.x.xx

mkdir CA
# Generate root CA, specify some good password for the private key
openssl genrsa -aes256 -out CA/rootCA.key 4096
openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key CA/rootCA.key -sha256 -days 3650 -out CA/rootCA.crt

Import the rootCA.crt as Trusted Root Authority in your web browser.

Now create a domain certificate fully-remote-admin-ca.p12 with password “fully” for each device. Devices must be addressed in your local network by a hostname like host.domain.tld, not by the IP address.

# Generate CA for host.domain.tld
openssl req -new -nodes -keyout CA/domain.key -out CA/domain.csr -days 3650 -subj "/C=DE/L=Some/O=Acme, Inc./CN=host.domain.tld"
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -sha256 -in CA/domain.csr -CA CA/rootCA.crt -CAkey CA/rootCA.key -CAcreateserial -out CA/domain.crt -extensions v3_ca -extfile <(
cat <<-EOF
[ v3_ca ]
subjectAltName = DNS:host.domain.tld
EOF
)

# Pack domain certificate to PKCS12 file
openssl pkcs12 -legacy -export \  
-out CA/fully-remote-admin-ca.p12 \  
-inkey CA/domain.key \  
-in CA/domain.crt \  
-passout pass:fully

If you have generated a host certificate with a CA authority like Letsencrypt you can pack it to the PKCS12 file as follow:

openssl pkcs12 -legacy -export \  
-out fully-remote-admin-ca.p12 \  
-inkey /path/to/letsencrypt/live/host.domain.tld/privkey.pem \  
-in /path/to/letsencrypt/live/host.domain.tld/cert.pem \  
-certfile /path/to/letsencrypt/live/host.domain.tld/chain.pem \  
-passout pass:fully

Now you have to put fully-remote-admin-ca.p12 file into the root folder of the app-specific or shared storage (if accessible) on the device and restart Fully Kiosk. Remote Admin will now be available at the location like https://host.domain.tld:2323

This setup works at least with current Google Chrome on Windows 11 without any warnings. Using other clients may need a slightly different SSL setup.

Note: With Fully Cloud EMM you can connect to Remote Admin from everywhere on the Internet. But this is not included in your Fully PLUS License.
