Connection settings

The most important properties of a profile are the connection settings. Connection settings are required to connect to Infor LN and should be provided by the system administrator.

  • On Windows devices the connection settings are directly linked to a profile. Click on Profile Options in the sign in screen and on the button Connection Settings to change the connection settings.
  • On Android/iOS, a profile contains one or more Environments and the connection settings are linked to an environment. Profiles can be maintained from the option Manage Profiles in the sign in screen. Environments can only be maintained after you have signed in to Mobile Service for a certain profile via option Environments in the menu. Select an environment and click on the option Connection Settings to modify those.

Connection settings can be entered and changed manually. The easiest way is to load a Connection Settings File or to scan a QR-code provided by the system administrator. Loading a Connection Settings File or scanning a QR-Code is mandatory when authentication is performed via ION API (for example when connecting to a Multi-Tenant Cloud environment).

The following connection settings are needed when authentication is not performed via ION API:

  • Username: The username for connection with the Infor LN backend. In case of a Single Sign On (SSO) environment, this is the SSO user name. Otherwise this is the LN backend username.
  • Password: The password to connect to the Infor LN backend.
  • LN UI Server (URL): The URL of the Infor LN UI Server.
  • LN Environment: The environment Infor LN runs in.
  • Company: The logistical data company of LN.

Specify the following fields when authentication is performed via ION API:

  • Company: The logistical data company of LN.
Note: When your organization uses Mobile Device Management (MDM) it might not be possible to enter an LN UI Server and an LN Environment. In this case a Managed Server field is available, and it can only be possible to select a Managed Server. This is only applicable to Android/iOS devices.
