Configuring the Wyse Device Agent settings
Use this tab to configure the Wyse Device Manager and Wyse Management Suite settings.
ThinOS supports all the Wyse Management Suite Group Policy settings.
Dell Wyse Device Agent (WDA) has been enhanced to support the following three types of customer security environments:
● Highly secured environment—Administrators must log in to each device, and use the USB device or File Server to import
the server certificate. The server certificate is retained in the device until you reset the device to factory default settings.
The device is secured and is not susceptible to a rouge DHCP or DNS server for a new device discovery. Administrators can
use either CA-signed or self-signed server certificates.
● Secured environment—Administrators can configure the server certificate fingerprint as a DNS_Text record or a
DHCP_Scope option. If WDA detects the DNS_Text record or the DHCP_Scope option, the server certificate fingerprint is
distributed over the network and added locally to the device. When the device is reimaged, the server certificate fingerprint
is removed from the device. Administrators can use either CA-signed or self-signed server certificates.
● Normal environment—You can use either CA-signed or self-signed server certificates for device discovery. The device
must establish a connection with CA for certificate validation. This applies when there is no option of DNS_Text record
or DHCP_Scope but the server certificate is CA-signed. If the certificate is a self-signed certificate, you must accept the
certificate security warning message.
To configure the Wyse Management Suite settings, do the following:
1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Central Configuration.
The Central Configuration dialog box is displayed.
