Windows Device Portal | ✔️ | ✔️ |
The Windows Device Portal for HoloLens lets you configure and manage your device remotely over Wi-Fi or USB. The Device Portal is a web server on your HoloLens that you can connect to from a web browser on your PC. The Device Portal includes many tools that will help you manage your HoloLens and debug and optimize your apps.
This documentation is specifically about the Windows Device Portal for HoloLens. To use the Windows Device portal for desktop (including for Windows Mixed Reality), see Windows Device Portal overview
Setting up HoloLens to use Windows Device Portal
- Power on your HoloLens and put on the device.
- Perform the Start gesture for HoloLens2 or Bloom on HoloLens (1st Gen) to launch the main menu.
- Gaze at the Settings tile and perform the air-tap gesture on HoloLens (1st Gen) or select it on HoloLens 2 by touching it or using a Hand ray.
- Select the Update menu item.
- Select the For developers menu item.
- Enable Developer Mode.
- Scroll down and enable Device Portal.
- If you are setting up Windows Device Portal so you can deploy apps to this HoloLens over USB or Wi-Fi, click Pair to generate a pairing PIN. Leave the Settings app at the PIN popup until you enter the PIN into Visual Studio during your first deployment.
Connecting over Wi-Fi
- Connect your HoloLens to Wi-Fi.
- Look up your device's IP address.
- Find the IP address on the device under Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Advanced Options.
- From a web browser on your PC, go to https://<YOUR_HOLOLENS_IP_ADDRESS>
- The browser will display the following message: 'There's a problem with this website's security certificate'. This happens because the certificate which is issued to the Device Portal is a test certificate. You can ignore this certificate error for now and proceed.
Connecting over USB
- Install the tools to make sure you have Visual Studio Update 1 with the Windows 10 developer tools installed on your PC. This enables USB connectivity.
- Connect your HoloLens to your PC with a micro-USB cable for HoloLens (1st Gen) or USB-C for HoloLens 2.
- From a web browser on your PC, go to https://127.0.0.1:10080.
Connecting to an emulator
You can also use the Device Portal with your emulator. To connect to the Device Portal, use the toolbar. Click on this icon: Open Device Portal: Open the Windows Device Portal for the HoloLens OS in the emulator.
Creating a Username and Password
Set up access to Windows Device Portal
Microsoft Hololens For Mac Download
The first time you connect to the Device Portal on your HoloLens, you will need to create a username and password.
- In a web browser on your PC, enter the IP address of the HoloLens. The Set up access page opens.
- Click or tap Request pin and look at the HoloLens display to get the generated PIN.
- Enter the PIN in the PIN displayed on your device textbox.
- Enter the user name you will use to connect to the Device Portal. It doesn't need to be a Microsoft Account (MSA) name or a domain name.
- Enter a password and confirm it. The password must be at least seven characters in length. It doesn't need to be an MSA or domain password.
- Click Pair to connect to Windows Device Portal on the HoloLens.
If you wish to change this username or password at any time, you can repeat this process by visiting the device security page by navigating to: https://<YOUR_HOLOLENS_IP_ADDRESS>/devicepair.htm.
Security certificate
If you see a 'certificate error' in your browser, you can fix it by creating a trust relationship with the device.
Each HoloLens generates a unique self-signed certificate for its SSL connection. By default, this certificate is not trusted by your PC's web browser and you may get a 'certificate error'. By downloading this certificate from your HoloLens (over USB or a Wi-Fi network you trust) and trusting it on your PC, you can securely connect to your device.
- Make sure you are on a secure network (USB or a Wi-Fi network you trust).
- Download this device's certificate from the 'Security' page on the Device Portal.
- Navigate to: https://<YOUR_HOLOLENS_IP_ADDRESS>/devicepair.htm
- Open the node for System > Preferences.
- Scroll down to Device Security, click the 'Download this device's certificate' button.
- Install the certificate in the 'Trusted Root Certification Authorities' store on your PC.
- From the Windows menu, type: Manage Computer Certificates and start the applet.
- Expand the Trusted Root Certification Authority folder.
- Click the Certificates folder.
- From the Action menu, select: All Tasks > Import...
- Complete the Certificate Import Wizard, using the certificate file you downloaded from the Device Portal.
- Restart the browser.
Note
This certificate will only be trusted for the device and the user will have to go through the process again if the device is flashed.
