How to Configure URL and Login to the app (For OrangeHRM 5x users)

Once you have downloaded the application, you need to configure your company instance URL before you access the system for the first time. 

Step 01

Enter the URL of your OrangeHRM instance and click continue. You will be directed to the login page upon successful validation of your instance URL.

If you will get an “Invalid URL” validation message,  that means you have entered the URL incorrectly.  It can be due to any of the following reasons,

• You might have entered the URL in an incorrect format. The correct format should be as follows. (eg: https://example.orangehrm.com)

• Sometimes, your instance URL may have a specific sub path. In that case, you will be required to enter the complete URL (eg: https://example.orangehrm.com/internal/hr).

• Your instance is required to have a valid SSL certificate to trust the URL to access the mobile app.
• If your instance is hosted in a private network, make sure you are connected to the VPN or in the same network to access the mobile app.
• The mobile application (version 3.0) is compatible exclusively with OrangeHRM Open Source Web Version 5.4 and newer versions thereafter. Contact your system admin to verify your system supports the requirement. To ensure that your mobile app version and web version are compatible with each other, please refer to the guide provided below.

Step 02

After successfully entering the instance URL, you will be directed to the login page. Here, you can enter your username and password. Once your username and password are validated, you will be granted access to the app.

The login page will be accessible directly through your device's default web browser. Reopening the app again will navigate to the instance URL definition page where you can change the instance URL.
