Mobile App Access on an Appliance

Mobile sign-in is an EE feature: CE (open-source) builds reject the mobile token exchange and report enabled: false from the capabilities endpoint, so the app refuses to save a CE host. The appliance runs the EE image, where access is governed by the license tier (MOBILE_ACCESS).

The published AlgaPSA mobile app (App Store / Google Play) can connect to any appliance: the user opens Change server on the sign-in screen (or scans the Connect this server QR on the MSP dashboard's mobile-app card) and the app validates the host via GET /api/v1/mobile/auth/capabilities before saving it. Sign-in then runs the standard web handoff (/auth/mobile/handoff) against the appliance.

Operator configuration

  • NEXTAUTH_URL — the appliance's public URL (same value as the setup page's App URL). Drives the handoff redirect and OAuth callbacks; mobile sign-in fails without it.
  • GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID / GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET and/or MICROSOFT_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID / MICROSOFT_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET — at least one SSO provider must be configured; the capabilities endpoint only advertises providers whose credentials resolve, and the app shows "SSO is not configured" otherwise. Native Apple sign-in works only against Alga Cloud.
  • ALGA_MOBILE_HOST_ALLOWLIST — optional, comma-separated hostnames permitted for mobile sign-in. Leave empty to allow the appliance host; if set, it must include the appliance's own hostname or the app blocks sign-in with "domain not allowed".

The dashboard's connect QR encodes alga://server?url=<this server's origin> and only renders on self-host installs (isSelfHostLicensing()); Alga Cloud hides it because the published app already defaults to that host.
