QR Enrollment Has Limitations

If enrollment fails, ATAK shows: "The TAK Server's identity could not be verified"

When it works: Certificates from trusted CAs (like Let's Encrypt) that are in Android's system trust store.

When it fails: Self-signed certificates or untrusted CAs not in Android's trust store.

Technical limitations: Only works on port 8089 with SSL (no QUIC support).

For self-signed certificates: Use the Data Package Builder tab instead - it lets you include your server's certificate so ATAK will trust it.

URL Import Configuration

Import data packages or configuration files via URL

Enter the URL of a data package (.zip) or configuration file to import

Auto-Enrollment: Package contains server info and CA certificate. Device will request its own certificate from server on first connection.
Auto-generated from server and client details. Leave empty for smart naming or specify custom name.
Username for server authentication (required for auto-enrollment, optional for soft-cert)
Password for server authentication
Root CA certificate (.p12) and its password - required for server trust
Pre-generated client certificate (.p12) and its password - only needed for soft-cert deployment

💡 Best Practices

Security Considerations

  • ⚠️ Password Security: Avoid including passwords in QR codes when possible
  • 🔒 Data Packages: Use data packages for sensitive configurations
  • 👥 Access Control: Limit access to configuration tools

Mass Deployment

  • 📋 Profiles: Create standardized profiles for each team/role
  • 🖨️ Print Handouts: Generate printed QR codes for field deployment
  • 📱 Kiosk Mode: Use large displays for group onboarding

Configuration Management

  • 🔄 Version Control: Keep track of configuration changes
  • 🧪 Testing: Test configurations in safe environments first
  • 📝 Documentation: Document custom configurations and templates

🔧 Troubleshooting

QR Code Issues

  • QR Code Too Large: Try using data packages instead of direct configuration
  • Scanning Fails: Ensure good lighting and clean QR code display
  • Invalid Configuration: Check your input values and validation messages

Connection Problems

  • Server Unreachable: Verify hostname/IP and network connectivity
  • Authentication Failed: Check username and token/password
  • Port Issues: Ensure correct port number and firewall settings
