- Frequently asked questions
a. Enter the HTTP proxy port number or HTTPS proxy port number, User name and Password in the respective fields.
However, credential pass through ($UN/$PW) is not recommended because it starts before user sign on.
Wyse Management Suite uses both HTTP/HTTPS and MQTT protocols to communicate with the WMS/MQTT server.
However, the HTTP proxy cannot redirect TCP packages to the MQTT server which requires a SOCKS5 proxy server. If
there is only HTTP server available, then the real-time command that requires MQTT does not work.
HTTP/HTTPS proxy default port is 808, and SOCKS5 proxy default port is 1080.
b. Select the Use the first proxy server for all protocols check box to allow all the protocols to use the same server in
the HTTP Proxy fields. Both HTTP and HTTPS proxy use the same host and port, and SOCKS5 proxy agent uses HTTP
host with default Socks5 port (1080).
If SOCKS5 proxy is configured, then WMS proxy uses the SOCKS5 only. If SOCKS5 is not configured, then WMS proxy
searches for alternative protocols, for example, HTTP in the configuration.
c. Specify the supported applications as Wyse Management Suite, FR and RTME separated by a semicolon in the Apply
proxy server on field.
3. Click OK to save the settings.
User scenario
1. Configure correct proxy server host and port.
2. Configure the user credentials according to the proxy server settings.
On system restart, the client checks in to the Wyse Management Suite server through SOCKS5 proxy server. MQTT
connection is established through SOCKS5 proxy server. Real-time commands work fine through SOCKS5 proxy server.
3. Connect to the Citrix desktop, configure proxy in internet options of the browser, and then playback HDX FR through the
HTTP/HTTPS proxy authentication.
