Registering devices by using 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 Creating and configuring DNS
SRV record.
The following table lists the valid values for the DNS SRV records:
Table 279. Configuring device by using DNS SRV record
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:443, where
wmsserver.acme.com is fully qualified domain name of the
server where Wyse Management Suite is installed. For links
to register your devices in Wyse Management Suite in public
cloud, see Getting started with Wyse Management Suite on
public cloud.
NOTE: Do not use https:// in the server URL, or the thin
client will not register under 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
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.
