Teradici Cloud Access broker type
Teradici Cloud Access is added as a new broker type. You can enter the FQDN name or the IP address of the broker server.
Username Hint option for VMware Horizon View broker
ThinOS 8.6.1 supports the Username Hint option during smart card authentication for the Horizon View broker.
You can enable users to specify the account to be used in the Username Hint field when you log in to a Horizon View session
using a smart card. To enable the Username Hint option, go to the View Administrator Admin console, and select the Allow
smart card user hints check box when editing the View Server Connection settings. Enabling this option allows you to use a
single smart card certificate to authenticate to multiple user accounts.
When signing in using a smart card, you must enter the username besides the smart card PIN. If the username does not match
the smart card certificate, the sign in fails with an error message No user could be found for your Certificate.
Touchpad
The touchpad on the Wyse 5470 thin client contains two buttons for the right and left mouse-clicks. ThinOS supports the
following touchpad gestures on the Wyse 5470 thin client:
● Moving the mouse cursor
○ Moving with one finger, the entire touchpad including the area with the buttons can be used for the mouse cursor
movement.
NOTE:
The sensitivity of the cursor movement on the area with the buttons is slower compared to the other areas.
This design is for the stability of the buttons.
● Left-click
○ Tapping with one finger anywhere on the touchpad works as the mouse left-click.
○ Pressing the left button on the touchpad works as the mouse left-click.
● Right-click
○ Tapping with two fingers anywhere on the touchpad works as the mouse right-click.
○ Pressing the right button on the touchpad as the mouse right-click.
● Moving windows
○ Press and hold the left button and move the window by dragging a second finger on the touchpad.
○ Dragging a window by tapping twice on the touchpad with one finger is not supported.
Disabling touchpad
● You can disable the touchpad by going to Start menu > System Setup > Peripherals > Mouse and checking the Disable
trackpad option.
● You can also disable the touchpad using the INI parameter Device=Mobile TrackpadDisable=yes.
Wyse Management Suite support
You can manage Wyse 5470 thin client using Wyse Management Suite 1.4 and later versions.
NOTE: If you disable the internal network interface card (NIC), Wyse Management Suite cannot recognize the thin client.
Wyse Management Suite 1.4 can differentiate between the BIOS of Wyse 5070 and 5470 thin clients. But it cannot differentiate
between the ThinOS images. All images are treated as of Wyse 5070 thin client.
There are two ways to separate a Wyse ThinOS image
● Add a description while uploading the image.
● Create separate groups for different platforms.
NOTE: Group Registration Key is encrypted and is displayed as asterisks (*).
