Amazon WorkSpaces updates
Multi factor authentication for Amazon WorkSpace
ThinOS supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on Amazon WorkSpaces. If your server supports MFA, use the following INI
parameter to enable the MFA feature:
ConnectionBroker=AWS Host=wsnrt+KQRQWM UseRegistrationCode=yes EnableMFA=yes.
The MFA token input box is enabled. Use the Google Authenticator on your mobile device and enter the code that is generated.
If your server does not support MFA, use the following INI parameter:
ConnectionBroker=AWS Host=wsnrt+KQRQWM UseRegistrationCode=yes EnableMFA=no.
Enable AWS connection via registration code using the INI parameter
You can use the INI parameter UseRegistrationCode=yes to connect to AWS using a registration code. The Connect via
Registration code check box is selected automatically if you enable the option using the INI parameter.
Behavior while closing the lid on the Wyse 5470 Thin Client
The behavior while closing the lid on the Wyse 5470 Thin Client is changed as follows:
● No—Only the built-in display is turned off and any external displays connected to the thin client are still turned on when the
lid is closed.
● Shutdown—The thin client shuts down when the lid is closed.
● Off Display—The built-in display and any external displays connected to the thin client are turned off when the lid is closed.
This is the default value.
Known issue—If the close lid INI parameter is set to no and the lid is closed, the built-in display is turned off. However, when
you press the power button on the Dell Docking Station WD19 to power on the thin client, the built-in display is turned on.
Workaround—Open the lid and close the lid again, the built-in display is turned off.
Network support on Wyse 5470 Thin Client
ThinOS supports the following network combinations on the Wyse 5470 Thin Client:
● Onboard Ethernet port + Ethernet port on the docking station
● Onboard Ethernet port + Wireless
