Registering devices by using legacy DNS SRV record

DNS-based device registration is supported with the following versions of Wyse Device Agent:

Windows Embedded Systems—13.0 or later versions
Thin Linux—2.0.24 or later versions
ThinOS—8.4 firmware or later versions

You can register devices with the Wyse Management Suite server if DNS SRV record fields are set with valid values.

NOTE:For detailed instructions on how to add DNS SRV records on the Windows server, see How do I create and configure DNS SRV record.

The following table lists the valid values for the DNS SRV records:

Table 1. Configuring device by using DNS SRV recordThe following table lists the valid values for the DNS SRV records:
URL/Tag	Description
Record Name—_WMS_MGMT Record FQDN—_WMS_MGMT._tcp.<Domainname> Record Type— SRV	This record points to the Wyse Management Suite server URL. For example, wmsserver.acme.com, where wmsserver.acme.com is fully qualified domain name of the server where Wyse Management Suite is installed. NOTE:Do not use https://FQDN or FQDN:443 in the server URL, or the thin client will not register to Wyse Management Suite.
Record Name—_WMS_MQTT Record FQDN—_WMS_MQTT._tcp.<Domainname> Record Type—SRV	This record directs the device to the Wyse Management Suite Push Notification server (PNS). For a private cloud installation, the device gets directed to the MQTT service on the Wyse Management Suite server. For example, wmsservername.domain.com:1883. NOTE: MQTT is optional for the latest version of Wyse Management Suite. To register your devices in Wyse Management Suite public cloud, the device should point to the PNS (MQTT) servers in public cloud. For example, US1—us1-pns.wysemanagementsuite.com EU1—eu1-pns.wysemanagementsuite.com You must enter the MQTT server details when you configure Wyse Device Agent details in the older version of ThinOS and Windows Embedded devices. MQTT is a component of WMS which is required to notify the thin clients. The URLs—with and without MQTT details—must be added to the allowlist in the Wyse Management Suite public cloud environment. NOTE:You cannot use the MQTT URLs to log in to Wyse Management Suite.
Record Name—_WMS_GROUPTOKEN Record FQDN—_WMS_GROUPTOKEN._tcp.<Domainname> Record Type— TEXT	This record is required to register the ThinOS devices with Wyse Management Suite on public or private cloud. This record is optional to register the Windows Embedded Standard or ThinLinux devices with Wyse Management Suite on private cloud. If the record is not available, then the devices are automatically registered to the unmanaged group during on-premise installation. NOTE:Group Token is optional for the latest version of Wyse Management Suite on private cloud.
Record Name—_WMS_CAVALIDATION Record FQDN—_WMS_CAVALIDATION._tcp.<Domainname> Record Type—TEXT	You can enable or disable CA validation option if you are registering your devices with Wyse Management Suite on private cloud. By default, the CA validation is enabled in the public cloud. You can disable the CA validation in the public cloud as well. Enter True, if you have imported the SSL certificates from a well-known authority for https communication between the client and Wyse Management Suite server. Enter False , if you have not imported the SSL certificates from a well-known authority for https communication between the client and Wyse Management Suite server. NOTE:CA Validation is optional for the latest version of Wyse Management Suite.
