Client type ThinOS

Not supported—Both PCoIP and Blast protocols are not supported.
Amazon WorkSpaces updates
Direct connection mode support
ThinOS supports a direct connection mode that enables you to connect to the Amazon WorkSpace by using your WorkSpace
registration code. To connect to Amazon WorkSpaces using the registration code, select the Connect via registration code
check box, and enter the WorkSpace registration code.
NOTE: The WorkSpace registration code is provided to you in your welcome email after you set up Amazon WorkSpaces.
In this release, the MFA token option is disabled in the login window when you connect to Amazon WorkSpaces using the
registration code.
If you do not select the Connect via registration code check box, you must enter the broker server IP to connect to
WorkSpaces.
NOTE: You cannot configure the direct connection mode using the INI parameter or Wyse Management Suite.
Imprivata updates
Grace period to skip second authentication factor
Imprivata enables you to establish grace periods to skip the second authentication factor. ThinOS supports the grace period
feature during subsequent logins.
You must specify a time limit for the grace period on the OneSign server. After you specify the grace period, you must first use
the proximity badge, and then enter password or OneSign PIN for the initial login. During subsequent logins within the
configured grace period, you are promoted only for a single factor authentication, and you can log in without the second
authentication factor.
If you tap the proximity card after the time limit that you have specified for the grace period, the Grace period expired
message is displayed in the second factor authentication window. If a wrong password or a PIN is entered, a warning message is
displayed.
ThinOS enhancements
Disable onboard serial port
ThinOS enables you to disable the onboard serial port on the following platforms:
● Wyse 5070 Thin Client with Celeron processor
● Wyse 5070 Thin Client with Pentium processor
● Wyse 5070 Extended Thin Client with Pentium processor
To disable or enable the onboard serial port, use the INI parameter Device=SerialDisable={yes, no}. The default value
is no. This option does not affect the USB serial devices. The value that you specify is saved into NVRAM and a system reboot
is required for changes to take effect.
