Is there anyway with Vaadin to uniquely identify a mobile device connecting to a vaadin server?
I suppose I mean, gain access to hardware info, ids etc…
Hi,
You can’t access hardware info. The best you can get on the server side is some browser information, with
Page.getCurrent().getWebBrowser(), and that’s not necessarily accurate (meaning, it can be spoofed). You might use something like
https://github.com/Valve/fingerprintjs2
[url=https://github.com/Valve/fingerprintJS]
[/url]to create unique identifiers on the client side, but of course, that’s browser-specific, not device-specific.
