Release Notes

Identity automation
Identity automation authentication is an enhanced sign-on solution that uses proximity card technology to quickly and securely
access a remote session. Users tap in or tap out of their work using proximity card. Identity automation authentication speeds
up the user workflow by eliminating the requirement to type their username and password each time they access their work.
For more information about configuring and using identity automation, see the Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 9.1 Administrator's
Guide at www.dell.com/support.
