Proxy support for Windows Embedded
Standard WDA and Dell Hybrid Client DCA
Windows Embedded Standard WDA supports HTTPS proxy, and Dell Hybrid Client DCA supports HTTPs and SOCKS5 proxy
for all HTTP and secure MQTT communications with Wyse Management Suite public server. Only system-wide proxies are
supported as WDA and DCA run as a service.
Proxies with AD authentication or no authentication are supported. PAC script that is configured using DHCP option tag 252 is
supported. Proxy settings are read when WDA and DCA services start. If there are changes in the proxy settings, the WDA and
DCA services must be restarted.
The following are the limitations of the proxy support:
Proxies that are configured at the user level are not supported.
There is no provision for user to enter username and password.
There is no user interface to enter the proxy URL as proxy details are read from the underlying operating system.
The external MQTT with 1883 does not support proxy.
HTTP proxy is not supported.
Proxy PAC file through DNS is not supported.
