Troubleshooting issues with configuring mobile apps

Troubleshooting issues with configuring your mobile device and the Secure Browser feature.

My users cannot access an intranet site through the Secure Browser. How do I fix this?
  1. Make sure that the intranet site is included in the proxy access list for the Persona policies.
  2. Log on to the server where you installed the gateway, open a browser and then try to access the intranet site.
  3. Try to connect to the device on the corporate network from the VPN or by using wifi to determine whether the site is accessible.
  4. If steps 1 - 2 do not fix the issue, the intranet site might be offline.
  5. Open the browser on the gateway, use developer tools and capture logs as you load the intranet site.
  6. Collect gateway logs and send the logs to IBM® Support for analysis.
My users cannot access any of the intranet sites through the Secure Browser. How do I fix this?
  1. Log on to the server where you installed the gateway, open the Services console and make sure that the Cloud Extender® service is running. If the Cloud Extender service is not running, start the service.
  2. With a test device, start the Secure Browser app, authenticate (if required) and make sure that you are able to access the intranet sites.
  3. If you cannot access intranet sites, open the browser on the gateway server and try to access intranet sites that are published. Check whether there are recent firewall or proxy changes to your internal network that might be blocking access.
  4. Collect gateway logs and send the logs to IBM Support for analysis.

  4. Double-click DiagnosticCmd.exe. The tools runs and collects all relevant logs for the gateway and generates a compressed file on your desktop.
  5. Send the file to IBM Support along with a detailed description of the issue you are experiencing, the time stamp of the issue, and your account number.
