5. Client configuration for Flash redirection
By default, no client configuration is required. New INI parameters are added to support HDX FR Client configurations, for example, to
fetch the server side content. The INI parameters are:
SessionConfig=ICA\
HDXFlashUseFlashRemoting=Never | Always (default) \
HDXFlashEnableServerSideContentFetching=Disabled (default) | Enabled \
How to verify it is working or not working
a. Right-click the flash video to know the flash player version. It displays version information of the customized player at ThinOS
client side. If the flash player version is different, then it is unsuccessful server rendering.
b. During the flash playback, the following ThinOS event logs is displayed in the System Information dialog box:
• FR: Media type video/x-264
• FR: Media type audio/mpeg
For information about basic operations on Citrix HDX flash redirection and policies configurations, see Citrix documentation.

Configuring VMware
VMware virtualization enables you to run multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine. VMware Horizon Client is a locally installed
software application that communicates between View Connection Server and thin client operating system. It provides access to centrally
hosted virtual desktops from your thin clients.
In every ThinOS release, the Horizon Client version may be updated to newer version. For information about the latest Horizon Client
version, see the latest Dell Wyse ThinOS Release Notes at www.dell.com/manuals.
NOTE:
If you are upgrading your thin client to the latest ThinOS version, you must ensure that the Horizon server or
agent version is updated to support the latest horizon client version. For more information about the client and server/
agent version compatibility, see the VMware Product Interoperability Matrices page at www.vmware.com.
This section provides information about how to configure a VMware broker connection on your ThinOS device, and other VMware
features that you can configure on ThinOS.
Configure the VMware broker connection
To configure the VMware 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 VMware view, and do the following:
• Broker Server—Enter the IP address/Hostname/FQDN 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 entered. Each desktop name is separated by semicolon, and is case-sensitive.
• Security mode—Select the preferred security mode from the following options:
• Warning—Warn Security requires FQDN address with self-signed certificate, or without any certificate, but corresponding
warning message is displayed for user to continue.
• Full—Full Security requires FQDN address with domain certificate.
• Low—Security allows FQDN/IP address with/without certificate.
• Default—Follows global security mode settings.
• Connection Protocol—From the drop-down list, select the type of protocol connection. By default, the option is set to Server
Default.
NOTE:
The PCoIP only connection protocol is applicable only to PCoIP clients. If you do not install Horizon
package, then the Blast only protocol option is not available for selection. PCoIP protocol is required for PCoIP
session. Horizon package is required for Blast session.
The available options are:
• Server default—Select this protocol connection to display the desktop with default protocol as configured in the VMware
View Admin console, for each pool in the broker. If a desktop pool is configured with default protocol as RDP in the View
Admin console, then only the RDP connection of the desktop is displayed in ThinOS after users sign in to the device.
