The Kiosk and SyncService were updated to be able to work in Azure (cloud) servers. This is an important transition which will pave the way for future Kisok improvements. The Kiosk and Sync Service were depending on pings to determine connectivity. Since pinging doesn't work against an Azure web app, those ping checks had to be replaced with API calls. Without these changes, the kiosks will always show offline, and the sync service will fail since it checks for connectivity and aborts the sync if the check fails. |
