d. 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.
Configuring the remote connections
Use the Remote Connections dialog box to configure thin client remote connections including ICA, RDP, Citrix Virtual
Apps and Desktops (formerly Citrix XenDesktop), Microsoft, VMware View, Dell vWorkspace, and other Broker agent server
connections. This dialog box also enables you to configure visual options, and general connection settings.
In the Classic Desktop option, the Remote Connections dialog box allows you to create the default RDP connections for use. If
you want to create more than the default connections, use the Connect Manager. For more information, see Using the Connect
Manager.
NOTE: A warning icon along with a message is displayed on the broker login window if you use http:// or ftp:// after
you configure a broker setup.
Configuring the broker setup
To configure the broker setup:
1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Remote Connections.
The Remote Connections dialog box is displayed.
2. In the Broker Setup tab, from the drop-down list, select the Broker type.
a. Select None, and click either of the following connection protocols:
● ICA—For more information, see Configuring ICA connections.
● RDP—For more information, see Configuring RDP connections.
b. Select any one of the available broker connections, and configure the broker setup to connect to the respective virtual
desktop environments. For instructions about configuring a particular broker setup, see Configuring the connection
brokers.
The available broker connections that you can configure on ThinOS are:
● Citrix Xen
● VMware View
● Microsoft
● Dell vWorkspace
● Amazon vWorkspace—This is applicable only to the PCoIP clients.
● Teradici Cloud Access
c. Select Other, and use the following guidelines:
● Broker Server—Enter the IP address of the Broker server.
● Auto Connect List—Enter the name of the desktops that you want to launch automatically after logging in to the
respective broker. More than one desktop can be listed. Each desktop name is separated by a semi-colon, and is
case-sensitive.
3. Click OK to save the settings.
NOTE:
For connection brokers and third party authentication applications, a security message is displayed in the
sign-on window. This message can be enabled or disabled by using INI parameters. For more information about the INI
