Change registration code for Amazon WorkSpaces
ThinOS enables you to modify the registration code anytime from the Amazon WorkSpaces (AWS) login window. This feature
is applicable if you are connecting to AWS using the registration code. Deploy the INI parameter EnableAWSREGCode={yes,
no} to use this feature.
Wyse Management Suite Proxy information using DHCP options or
DNS SRV records
You can use DHCP option tags or DNS records to define the Wyse Management Suite proxy (SOCKS5) information. You can
fetch proxy settings using the DHCP option or DNS SRV records during the system bootup. The DNS record takes precedence
over the DHCP option tag. To specify the proxy information, you must select the Enable Proxy Settings on DNS/DHCP
Server check box on the Proxy tab in the Network Setup window.
For more information about how to use DHCP options or DNS SRV records to configure the Wyse Management Suite proxy
settings, see the Dell Wyse ThinOS 8.6 Administrator's Guide at www.dell.com/support.
Supports RC4_HMAC_MD5 for RDP connections
RC4_HMAC_MD5 is supported for RDP connections to compliment with AES128_HMAC_SHA1 or AES256_HMAC_SHA1.
Limit core dumps by clearing NVRAM
You can clear Non-Volatile Random-Access Memory (NVRAM) to resolve the low memory issue and increase the user login time.
Use the INI parameter LimitCoredumpPartition={yes,no} to configure this feature. Deploying this parameter reduces
the total number of saved core dumps by limiting the space on NVRAM. For information about this parameter, see the Dell Wyse
ThinOS Version 8.6 INI Reference Guide at www.dell.com/support.
ENERGY STAR 8 compliance
ThinOS and ThinOS Lite-based devices are ENERGY STAR 8 compliant. To enable or disable ENERGY STAR 8 on your thin
client, deploy the INI parameter enableEEE={0,1}.
Supports TicTok smart cards
ThinOS supports TicTok smart cards from this release onwards.
