Teradici Cloud Access broker type
Teradici Cloud Access is added as a new broker type. You can enter the FQDN name or the IP address of the broker server.
Username Hint option for VMware Horizon View broker
ThinOS supports the Username Hint option during smart card authentication for the Horizon View broker.
You can enable users to specify the account to be used in the Username Hint field when you log in to a Horizon View session
using a smart card. To enable the Username Hint option, go to the View Administrator Admin console, and select the Allow
smart card user hints check box when editing the View Server Connection settings. Enabling this option allows you to use a
single smart card certificate to authenticate to multiple user accounts.
When signing in using a smart card, you must enter the username besides the smart card PIN. If the username does not match
the smart card certificate, the sign in fails with an error message No user could be found for your Certificate.
Wyse Management Suite support
You can manage Wyse 5470 All-in-One thin client using Wyse Management Suite 1.4 and later versions. Wyse Management Suite
1.4 can differentiate between the BIOS of Wyse 5070 and 5470 All-in-One thin clients. But it cannot differentiate between the
ThinOS images. All images are treated as of Wyse 5070 thin client.
There are two ways to separate a Wyse ThinOS image:
● Add a description while uploading the image.
● Create separate groups for different platforms.
NOTE: Group Registration Key is encrypted and is displayed as asterisks (*).
New connection under low privilege
A new connection under low privilege can be added.
FR package
FR package is updated to version 1.27.53767.
Sleep mode
The sleep mode enables the power-saving state and the thin client resumes power without loss of data.
● ThinOS VDI broker session logs off after resuming from sleep mode for security. You must log in to the broker session again
after resuming from sleep mode.
NOTE:
If you do not want to lose VDI sessions or to login to broker again, it is recommended to disable sleep mode by
using the INI parameter Sleep=no.
● The device automatically enters sleep mode when ThinOS is idle for 20 minutes. This value is the default value. You can set
the idle time in the System Preferences dialog box.
● To enable the thin client to automatically enter the sleep mode, set the Turn Off Screen as screen saver. Sleep mode timer
starts after screen is turned off by the screen saver.
● As the Wyse 5470 All-in-One thin client does not have a battery, plugged in is always selected.
● To manually enter sleep mode, open the ThinOS shut down menu, select the Sleep option, and click OK.
● To resume the thin client from sleep mode, perform any of the following steps:
○ Press the power button.
○ Click the USB mouse or move the wireless USB mouse.
NOTE: This feature is disabled by default. Use INI parameter wakeonusb=yes to enable the feature.
○ Press any key on the USB keyboard.
