Lyndon Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Tried to scan a QR code but it doesn't work. I'm just taken back to the previous screen that displays the URL field, "Connect" and "Scan QR" buttons. It used to work...? Tried closing and re-opening the app, no difference. Tried clearing app data, no difference. Tried restarting the mobile, no difference. Tried QR code in user portal and admin console, no difference. Scanned the QR code with lens which displays URL, user and pass parameters - all seem correct, obviously can't confirm the password as it's hashed.

Lyndon Posted March 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 I let some time pass then tried to scan a QR code from a different PBX and extension which worked. I then logged out and scanned the QR code for the original extension I was trying to scan earlier and it worked....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 What is the URl format that you're trying to access? Can you send us the QR code to us privately from the Forum or to our support email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtl Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 I've had a lot of issues with the QR code especially with iOS. The one in the user portal almost always works, the one in the management console usually works and the one in the email never works. Similar for Android in that the email almost never works and the others as above. Really annoying for customers as we always have to direct them to the web portal as the easier one, in the email, is so flaky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodia PBX Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 The problem for the PBX is to tell what URL to use. When you are logging in with the browser, the PBX says "oh good, this one is able to see my page so lets use that page". If you are logged in with HTTPS well then that's a good sign. Even when you trigger sending out an email from the web interface, the PBX tries to use the address that you entered in your browser to generate the URL. So the bottom line is, don't log in with the IP address in your browser or an insecure connection. Needless to say, make sure that the domain has the green lock symbol indicating that the browser thinks that the connection is secure—that usually means that the app also believes it is secure. iOS and Android are these days very rejective to insecure connections.

Lyndon Posted March 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 I think that maybe it. If I display for QR code via http:// it doesn't work. If I display QR code via https:// it works. For overall security, wouldn't it be a good idea to redirect all http to https, or at least have a setting that does this that you can either enable or disable?

Lyndon Posted March 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Excellent, or so I thought... I have HTTP set to 80, HTTPS set to 443 Redirect to HTTPS was set to 'Automatic' - so would assume that means enabled, opposed to disabled. Changed to 'On' so there is no guessing, saved settings. Browsed to http:// and don't get redirected? Does this change require a server restart and what does 'Automatic' mean in this sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Its complicated. Keep in mind that many installations are still on premise where there is no (real) HTTPS. "Automatic" will check if there is a certificate for a domain or the server management address, and it that is the case it will do the redirect. If you are running the PBX on a public IP, you might want to rename (or just remove it) the localhost domain so that the PBX knows it has not to serve all incoming requests, which is another challenge for presenting a valid certificate.

VitaminJ Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Bit of a bump but I've noticed that if you attempt to scan a QR code from Outlook while Outlook is in Dark Mode, Android devices won't scan and just return you to the login/scan QR page. Light mode Outlook scans first time, every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Could you turn on the camera on the phone and scan in either of these situations and see if the URL pops up both times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
