c. Group Registration Key—Enter the Group Registration Key as configured by your Wyse Management Suite
administrator for the desired group. To verify the key, click Validate Key..
To view the specified group token key, click the Show Key button. Verify whether the specified group token key is
correct. You can also press the F5 key to display the group token. When you press other keys on the keyboard, the group
token is masked automatically.
NOTE:
A Group Registration Key is not required for the private Wyse Management Suite server. You can provide
the Wyse Management Suite server details to enable the device to check in to Wyse Management Suite. ThinOS
registers to a quarantine tenant in Wyse Management Suite.
d. Enable WMS Advanced Settings—Select this check box to enter the Wyse Management Suite server, MQTT server
details, and to enable the CA validation. By default, the MQTT server option is disabled. The MQTT server value is
populated after the ThinOS device is checked in to the Wyse Management Suite.
NOTE:
If you enable the Wyse Management Suite, ensure that you have entered the Group Registration Key and
configured the Wyse Management Suite advanced settings.
The CA validation is required when you import certificates into your Wyse Management Suite server. By default, the
CA Validation check box is selected to improve the security when using the Wyse Management Suite cloud. This change
affects connections to any of the following servers:
● *.dellmobilitymanager.com
● *.cloudclientmanager.com
● *.wysemanagementsuite.com
