Dell ThinOS 10.x 2502, 2505, and 2508 Administrator Guide

Configure the Wyse Management Suite settings

1. To access the central configuration settings, do the following:
   • Modern Mode—from the desktop menu, click Settings > Central Configuration.
   • Classic Mode—from the desktop menu, click System Setup > Central Configuration.
   The Central Configuration dialog box is displayed.
2. From the desktop menu, click System Setup > Central Configuration.
3. On the WMS tab, do the following:

   

   1. Select the Enable Wyse Management Suite (WMS) check box to enable the Wyse Management Suite to discover your thin client. By default, this option is selected. Wyse Management Suite service automatically runs after the client boots.
      NOTE:If the first discovery, for example, the Wyse Management Suite service is not successful, it continues until a discovery is successful. If all discoveries fail, it is started again automatically.
   2. Select the DNS SRV record check box if you want the thin client to obtain the Wyse Management Suite values through DNS server, and then try to register into the Wyse Management Suite server. By default, the check box is selected. If the check box selection is canceled, the thin client cannot obtain the Wyse Management Suite values through the DNS server.
   3. In the Group Registration Key field, enter the group registration key as configured by your Wyse Management Suite administrator for your group. To verify the key, click Validate Key.
      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.
   4. Select the Enable WMS Advanced Settings check box to enter the Wyse Management Suite 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. If you want to use the feature of Create QR Code or Scan QR Code buttons, see Added Create QR Code and Scan QR Code in Central Configuration.
      NOTE:If you enable the external secure MQTT option on the Wyse Management Suite server, the thin client automatically fetches the MQTT server <tls://xxx.xxx.xxx:8443>. If port 1883 is blocked in the Wyse Management Suite server, the ThinOS client cannot switch to the External Secure MQTT server from the External MQTT server. If you are blocking port 1883, select External Secure MQTT as Preferred MQTT in the Wyse Management Suite server first.

      NOTE:The default domain is filled in the login window only when you login and is not displayed in the domain list. If you want to view the domain in the list, configure the domain in Domain List policy in the Admin Policy Tool or Wyse Management Suite server.
   5. Select the CA validation check box if you want to enable the CA validation feature.
      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

      Wyse Management Suite deployment	CA Validation
      Private cloud	When you deploy Wyse Management Suite on a private cloud, the Enable CA Validation check box is available to configure after you specify the server details in the WMS Server field. By default, the check box is selected.
      Public cloud	When you deploy Wyse Management Suite on a public cloud, the Enable CA Validation check box is selected by default. You cannot disable the Enable CA Validation option.

4. Click Save to save your settings.
   NOTE:When you modify the Wyse Management Suite information, a dialog box is displayed prompting you to restart the thin client. To apply the settings immediately, click Reboot Now. If you do not want to restart your client, click Cancel.
