Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 8.6 Administrator’s Guide

Configuring the Amazon WorkSpaces broker connection

Amazon WorkSpaces connection is applicable only for PCoIP clients. To configure the Amazon WorkSpaces (AWS) 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 Select Broker Type drop-down list, select Amazon WorksSpaces.

   

3. Based on your preferred connection mode, do either of the following:
   • If you want to connect to AWS using the registration code, select the Connect via registration code check box, and enter the WorkSpaces registration code in the Registration Code field. The workspace registration code is provided to you in your welcome email after you set up Amazon WorkSpaces.

     You can also use the INI parameter UseRegistrationCode=yes to connect to AWS using a registration code. The check box is selected automatically if you enable the option using the INI parameter.

     

     NOTE: You cannot configure the direct connection mode using the INI parameter or Wyse Management Suite.

     ThinOS enables you to modify the registration code anytime from the Amazon WorkSpaces (AWS) login window. This feature is applicable if you are connecting to AWS using the registration code. Deploy the INI parameter EnableAWSREGCode={yes, no} to use this feature.

   • If your server supports Multi-factor authentication (MFA), use the following INI parameter:

     ConnectionBroker=AWS Host=wsnrt+KQRQWM UseRegistrationCode=yes EnableMFA=yes

     The MFA token field is enabled. Use the Google Authenticator on your mobile device and enter the code that is generated.

     

     If your server does not support MFA, use the following INI parameter:

     ConnectionBroker=AWS Host=wsnrt+KQRQWM UseRegistrationCode=yes EnableMFA=no

     

   • If you want to connect to AWS using the default PCoIP Gateway mode, enter the IP address/Hostname/FQDN of the broker server in the Broker Server field.
     NOTE: Do not select the Connect via registration code check box if you are using the default PCoIP Gateway mode.
4. In the Auto Connect List field, 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 listed. Each desktop name is separated by a semicolon, and is case-sensitive.
5. Select the preferred Security mode from the following options:
   • Warning—This security mode requires FQDN address for domain certificate that is installed in PCM. If certificate is not installed on the client, corresponding warning message is displayed for you to continue.
   • Full—This security mode requires FQDN address with domain certificate that is installed in PCM, and certificate installed on the client.
   • Low—This security mode enables FQDN/IP address with/without certificate.
   • Default—Follows global security mode settings.
   NOTE: The Connection Protocol drop-down list is disabled for the AWS broker. By default, the option is set to PCoIP Only.
6. Click OK
