Captive Portal - Intunes Kiosk Mode
thanks for the response, the issue we have is that we don't want people to have access to the browser on the kiosk, I wonder if there's a way to allow the browser to allow the captive portal pop up but not show the browser icon as being available?
Knox manage has an option to add " allowlisted apps" (https://docs.samsungknox.com/admin/knox-manage/kiosk-devices/kiosk-wizard/kiosk-wizard-menu-items/) that might be helpful for this.
But I could not find such solution in Intune. Intune is very limited when it comes to these kind of features. You could always add the chrome browser to your kiosk profile and use whitelist with only the allowed URL of the captive portal and maybe an intranet page.
When creating a whitelist in Chrome managed config, you block all other URLS.
ok will take a look and speak to the guy who has set things up initially - thanks for the input will let you know how it goes.
"Intune is very limited when it comes to these kind of features."
I'll never understand why anyone would try to use Intune for managing kiosk and/or line of business Android devices. It continually falls short in capabilities needed to properly manage and support these sort of device management use cases.
You may need to investigate replacing Intune Kiosk with an alternative lockdown. Something like Zebra Enterprise Home Screen or BlueFletch's custom launcher will offer you more configurable controls.
