Dell ThinOS 10.x Migration Guide

Register ThinOS devices using Wyse Device Agent

Configure the WDA agent directly from the ThinOS. This configuration must be done individually on each device.

1. On the ThinOS device, access the central configuration settings:
   • 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.

   NOTE:Privilege must be set to High or Admin Mode must be activated to access to the ThinOS Central Configuration menu.
2. Select the Enable WMS Advanced Settings checkbox.
3. In the WMS server field, enter the WMS URL in the format https://server.domain.
   This value represents the WMS server from which ThinOS clients are managed and the device configurations are obtained over SSL.
4. In the Group Registration Key field, enter the group registration key as configured by your WMS administrator for your group. To verify the setup, click Validate Key.
   If the key is not validated, verify the group key and WMS server URL that you have provided. Ensure that the network is not blocking the default ports, which are 443 and 1883.
   NOTE:If the Group Token parameter is not specified, the device is moved to the unmanaged group or quarantine group.
5. Enable or disable CA Validation based on your license type. For public cloud, select the checkbox. For private cloud, select the Enable CA Validation checkbox if you have imported certificates from a well-known certificate authority into your WMS server.
   To enable the CA validation option in the private cloud, you must install the same self-signed certificate on the ThinOS device. If you have not installed the self-signed certificate in the ThinOS device, do not select the Enable CA Validation checkbox. You can install the certificate to the device by using WMS after registration, and then enable the CA validation option.
6. Validate the newly added devices enrollment in WMS, to become manageable. You can enable the Enrollment Validation option to allow administrators to control both manual and automatic registration of thin clients to a group.
   When the Enrollment Validation option is enabled, the manual or auto discovered devices are in the Enrollment Validation Pending state on the Devices page. The tenant can select a single device or multiple devices on the Devices page and validate the enrollment. The devices are moved to the intended group after they are validated. For more information about how to validate the devices, see the Enrollment Validation section in Wyse Management Suite 5.0 Administrator's guide at Support | Dell.
7. Click Save.
   The device checks in to the WMS, and the policy settings are applied.
