IBM Worklight 6.2 App - Remote Server communication failure - ibm-mobilefirst

I am developing a hybrid app in Worklight 6.2. I have a WorkLight Server installed Red Hat Linux 6 base as remote server.
I have give the servers ip address, port number and context root as"/worklight" in the "build settings and deploy target".
Then i added my adapter file and wlapp file into the remote servers "app" folder. I haven't made any changes in the server.xml file.
Now when i call the procedure from my app i am getting "[IPADDRESS:PORT/worklight/apps/services/api/MyApp/ipad/query] failure. state: 404, response: The server was unable to process the request from the application. Please try again later."
What am i missing and What changes do i have to make to make the request to work.?

The steps you are describing are not clear.
Make sure you are following the steps as provided in the IBM Worklight Knowledge Center.
First make sure the Worklight Server deployment to the application server was done correctly
You can verify this then by loading the Worklight Console (there will be no deployed projects)
Then follow the Worklight project (.war, .wlapp, .adapter) deployment to the Worklight Server instructions
You can verify this then by loading the Worklight Console (there will be 1 deployed application)

Worklight access remote adapter from different server mobilewebapp

I have few adapters deployed in remote uat server.
I want to access them n develop mobile web app in my local worklight server.
Im using IBM Mobilefirst 7.1.0
I tried setting host and contxt path of uat server in mobilewebapp build settings and run the app in my local server. But query call is throwing 404 error.
Can anyone help me in accessing remote adapters in local server.
It would've been easier to help you had you provided information such as where are you setting that connection info and what are you setting... since you're getting 404, this would typically mean that you have incorrectly inputted the connection info.
In MobileFirst Studio, right-click on the application folder and select Run As -> Remote Target and Build Settings. There you need to input the server address:
Host: https://your-server-ip-address:port-number
Context root: /myproj (typically the project name, unless you've specified otherwise in the server.xml of the remote application server).

Application Authenticity is not getting enabled

I am using Worklight 6.2 consumer edition. When I deploy my app, following warning flashes on server console:
[WARNING ] FWLSE0259W: Application authenticity protection is not being performed within the Worklight Development Server. In order to fully test Application authenticity protection, deploy the application to a non-development Worklight Server (i.e. external Worklight Server). [project MyProject].
I am using Web Sphere Liberty Profile 8.5.5.1 server. Pls advise how to make this warning make go away?
As the message says, if you are trying to test Application Authenticity Protection in Worklight Studio (the Eclipse development environment of Worklight), Authenticity protection is not supposed to work.
To test Application Authenticity in Worklight 6.2, you must deploy Worklight using IBM Installation Manager to your Application Server (WAS, Liberty, Tomcat), as well as your .war, .wlapp, .adapters, etc... and set it up in Worklight Console belonging to this instance of Worklight.
Only then should it work.

How to set up IBM work light server on my machine

Hello Folks,
We are recently working on IBM worklight and what we want to try is:
We have two machine, one we want to set as server and other one is for my developer to build the app.
Currently we have installed Apache Tomcat server on the machine which we want to make as server. We even have IBM Worklight installed on it. Now What I want to achieve is to deploy the app from other machine to this server. But I am not able to set up the things properly.
Things done so far:
Installed Apache Tomcat server software on a machine (server)
Installed IBM Installation Manager
I am not getting how will I set up the Worklight Server on this machine. Can anyone provide some information?
You cannot directly deploy from Worklight Studio (the Eclipse plug-in) to a remote Worklight Server.
The steps you need to take are:
Setup your application for a remote server, via the Build Settings and Deploy Target window
Build the app
Take the .wlapp/.adapter file and deploy it to the remote Worklight Server via it's Worklight Console
If you have done any server-related changes (authenticationConfig.xml, Java code, ...) you will need to first deploy the project's .war file to the application server that hosts the remote Worklight Server, and then the .wlapp.

WL 6.0. How to generate apk or ipa pointing to the right server without the worklightServerRootURL

I have read the posts:
IBM Worklight 6.0 - worklightserverhost attribute and the app-builder Ant task
IBM Worklight - How to connect to another Worklight Server located in another machine in the same network?
IBM Worklight 6.0 - application-descriptor.xml
And I think I'm missing something because all them stop with the generation of the wlapp for other servers.
After generating and installing the wlapp it is needed to generate and apk/ipa or "Run As" over the environment to execute that application.
The problem I'm having is that the deployed application in the device points to the development server always and not to the other server I have used for generating the .wlapp files with the (Run As -> Build For Remote Server...).
I have tried deploying the application with the property "publicWorkLighHostname" changed in the worklight.properites but it has no effect.
How do I deploy an application to the device pointing to the desired server?
Thank you.
Run As >> Build All and Deploy / Build specific environment, points to the local development server
Build for Remote Server, points to a server of your choosing
If you perform a Build All and Deploy after a Build for Remote Server, this will overwrite the previous action and the artifacts will again point to the local development machine.
So do a Build for Remote Server. Worklight Studio knows where to put what so that the app will reach the server.

Worklight Studio 6 - device provisioning and app authenticity

I am running Worklight Studio 6 from Worklight Enterprise Edition download with Eclipse Juno.
My application is using form security with the WASLTPA login module. The application tests correctly.
When I add AppAuthenticity (needed for device provisioning) my client sees the following error in the console. (None in the server log)
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 (Unauthorized)
drilling deeper I see:
/*-secure-
{"challenges":{"wl_authenticityRealm":{"WL-Challenge-Data":"o97e2ph8kguqh1vpljbio1o5k3+23.507-9.852-31.807 "}}}*/
I am running this on the Worklight Development Server packaged with Worklight Studio.
You have mentioned both the Enterprise Edition and Developer Edition.
Please clarify your question with the following: You have installed Worklight using the IBM Installation Manager, yes?
You have an application server (Tomcat/WebSphere/Liberty) installed and you've used the supplied Ant scripts to create the Worklight database(s), configure them, deploy the Worklight platform files to the application server, as well as deploy your project's .war file? (and of course the .wlapp /.adapter file(s)...).
If you have done the above, then you will have in your Worklight Server, now installed on the application server, the required components for App Authenticity to work.
Then there is the case of how you actually configured your project for App Authenticity.
Make sure you follow these steps to set up App Authenticity
