Poly EagleEye Mini webcam support
The Poly EagleEye Mini webcam is functional on both ThinOS local and VDI session.
Limitation: The Poly EagleEye mini webcam cannot redirect to Blast session.
VNC password restriction
The VNC password length is restricted to eight characters. When you enter more or less than eight characters, red tips are
displayed to notify you to follow the rule and enter the correct password.
Proxy
A new app list value HORIZON is added in the Apply proxy server on field on the Proxy tab. For the VMware Broker logon to
use the proxy, you should specify the Apply proxy server on field as HORIZON. However, VMware broker with tunnel enabled
and VMware application can use proxy when you specify any value in the Apply proxy server on field.
On the Proxy tab, the following options are available:
● Proxy Types—You can use HTTP proxy, HTTPS proxy and SOCKS5 proxy types. The proxy type enables the thin client to
connect to the application such as Wyse Management Suite.
● Proxy values—You can enter values for the HTTP proxy, HTTPS proxy and SOCKS5 proxy types. Adding proxy values enable
the thin client to connect to the proxy server.
