SAP Mobile Secure Configuration Discovery Service |
The Configuration Discovery Service simplifies the connection configuration for end
users. When an unconfigured application is launched, the user is
simply prompted to enter their email address. The application then
makes an HTTPS GET request to a predetermined, known end point,
using the email domain and the app ID to retrieve the connection
information.

URL query parameters |
The simplest way to configure SAP Fiori Client is to manually append query string parameters to the Fiori launchpad URL that you provide to end users. For more information, see Configuring SAP Fiori Client Using URL Query Parameters |
