Mobile Connect

The Mobile Connect bookmark allows a custom bookmark to be defined for display in Mobile Connect after the user is connected. This bookmark is meant to support any third-party app, whether an in-house app or a public app in the App Store or Google Play. The bookmark also enables calling third-party apps that have defined a custom URL scheme, for example ‘comgoogleearth://’ for Google Earth. The Mobile Connect bookmark is only available for edit from normal browsers and is intended for use only on mobile devices.

The Mobile Connect bookmark can also be used for ‘http://’ or ‘https://’ URL schemes, however, SonicWall Inc. recommends using HTTP or HTTPS bookmarks for these schemes.

Enter the Bookmark Name and the Name or IP Address. The Name or IP Address field is the custom URL scheme.
