3. Insert the smart card. Windows 7 should recognize the smart card and reader and
automatically install the correct drivers.
4. Log off Windows to disconnect the session.
5. From the zero client administrative web interface, remove the bridge configuration for the
smart card reader.
6. Log in with the smart card. The smart card should be fully accessible.
OneSign cannot authenticate after changing Session Connection Type
After changing a zero client's Session Connection Type from View Connection Server + Kiosk to View
Connection Server + OneSign, the Zero Client is unable to negotiate a PCoIP session with VMware
View using OneSign authentication.
Workaround: Restart the zero client.
After display is turned off, screen does not wake up by pushing zero client button
When the On-Screen Display (OSD) Screensaver timeout expires, it will turn off the display after the
end of a PCoIP session brokered by a PCoIP Connection Manager. Clicking the zero client's physical
button does not wake the display.
OSD cursor briefly stops responding to mouse input
The On-Screen Display (OSD) cursor stops responding to mouse input for a few seconds after
pressing the Apply button on the AWI USB Permissions page, or while loading the AWI Attached
Devices page. It will behave as expected shortly after.
Disconnecting a session with auto-reconnect enabled causes an alert dialog
With the auto-reconnect feature enabled, users may see an alert dialog briefly on screen before the
PCoIP session is reconnected. The message shown is "Unable to connect (0x1001). Please contact
your IT administrator." This message can be safely ignored.
Switching between DVI and DisplayPort connectors may cause screen to go blank on HP Z27i displays
HP Z27i displays connected to a zero client's DisplayPort connectors may not show the remote
desktop content when the zero client starts a PCoIP session to a workstation access card, and the
card's previous session was from a zero client with displays attached to its DVI ports.
Temporary IPv6 addressing causes failure when connecting zero clients to any soft host
Zero clients cannot establish a connection to any soft host that has temporary IPv6 addressing
enabled.
Resolved Issues
The following are the resolved issues in this release:
Zero Client connect VMware Horizon View Connection Server after resolution of VMSA-2017-0008.2
VMware changes to Horizon View to resolve VMware Security Advisory ID VMSA-2017-0008.2
resulted in a "View Connection Server error" when the zero client attempted to connect to a desktop.
Zero client firmware has been updated to support the changes introduced by VMware into Horizon
View 6.2.4 and latest version.
Upgrading firmware 5.4.x with AWI open no longer causes zero client to freeze
The zero client will no longer freeze if upgrading from firmware 5.5 or higher. The issue was present
only in firmware 5.4.x.
In OneSign mode the zero client will abort pre-session authentication when the View Connection Server
session times out
A zero client in OneSign mode may receive more than one View Connection Server address from the
OneSign server. When a zero client is left at the desktop selection dialog for longer than the View
Connection Server's Forcibly Disconnect User setting value (default 600 minutes) and then a desktop
selection is made, the zero client will abort to the Connect dialog.
