Need to display dashboards on digital signage solution. What are my automated login options in Android environment when SSO is enabled?

[PierreDumoulin]

Hi everyone,

one of our IT teams is deploying a new digital signage solution meant to help us manage the content displayed on different TVs we have located in different areas. Part of the content we would like to display are servicenow dashboards. However, the platform is android based (uses the chromium browser), so SSO will be impossible. How can I handle the login part automatically? I'd like to simply provide URLs to one or different dashboards to be displayed (without the login needing to be managed manually every time). Can I integrate the user/pass to the URL? that would make it clear text... Can I use some sort of certificate? Should I simply save the credentials at the browser level ("Remember me" type option)? Any other alternatives?

My continued appreciation to this community for your help!

So just for everyone's benefit, our digital signage can run through "playlists" of URLs within the same session. What we did was submit a login URL with credentials included and then proceeded to point to specific dashboards. The solution is working  nicely.

What software/hardware are you using for the digital signage? I'm looking to accomplish the same thing. Can you also include the format you used in the URL to pass credentials?

Hey Nfinn,

My colleague tells me that our digital signage solution is Navori (https://www.navori.com/digital-signage-software/ql-professional/).

As for the format of the URL: here it is with the relevant information abstracted of course: (replace bracketed info with actual user and pass). Shame you can't get a "correct answer" vote on your own post. 🙂
