Administrator Guide

The Agent Configuration folder is available at the following location:
○ Windows Embedded Standard devices—%SYSTEMDRIVE%\\Wyse\\WCM\\ConfigMgmt\\Certificates
○ ThinLinux devices—/etc/addons.d/WDA/certs
○ ThinOS devices—wnos/cacerts/
NOTE: You must import the certificate to a thin client running ThinOS operating system using a USB drive or FTP paths.
● Secured environments—To mitigate the risk against rouge DHCP or DNS server for new device discovery, administratos
must configure Wyse Management Suite server using CA-signed certificates. The device can fetch the Wyse Management
Suite server URL from the DHCP/DNS records and perform the CA validation. Wyse Management Suite private cloud
solution with self-signed certificate requires the certificate to be pushed to the device after first registration if the device
does not have the certificate before registration. This certificate is preserved even after you reimage or restart the device to
mitigate the risk against rouge DHCP or DNS server.
● Normal environments—The device obtains the Wyse Management Suite server URL from the DHCP/DNS records for
Wyse Management Suite private cloud that is configured with CA-signed or self-signed certificate. If CA validation option
is disabled on the device, Wyse Management Suite administrator is notified after you register the device for the first time.
In this scenario, Dell recommends that the administrators perform a certificate push to the device where the server is
configured with self-signed certificate. This environment is not available for public cloud.
Dell Client Agent
Dell Client Agent (DCA) is a unified agent for Dell Hybrid Client management solutions. If you install DCA, you can manage Dell
Hybrid Clients using Wyse Management Suite.
To install Dell Hybrid Client on the OptiPlex 7070 Ultra device:
1. Register the device to Wyse Management Suite using discovery method (DNS or DHCP) or the reg.json manual method—
see Methods to register devices to Wyse Management Suite.
2. Reimage your OptiPlex 7070 Ultra device—see Reimage your Dell Hybrid Client.
Dell Client Agent-Enabler
Dell Client Agent-Enabler (DCA-Enabler) is a client agent for managing Ubuntu versions 18.04 and 20.04 LTS 64-bit on Dell
Ubuntu devices. The Dell Hybrid Client software is preloaded with Dell Client Agent-Enabler (DCA-Enabler). DCA-Enabler
supports and allows you to do the following actions that are managed by Wyse Management Suite:
● Registration of Ubuntu devices
● Deploy Real-Time commands such as Query, Restart, Shutdown, and Wake-on-LAN.
● Device Pull Log command.
● Unregistration from the server
● Convert to Hybrid Client command using Jobs, Devices, or Device Details page.
● Deploy Standard Application Policy.
● Deploy Advanced Application Policy.
● Deploy Generic Client to Dell Hybrid Client conversion policy.
● Deploy certificate policy .
DCA-Enabler is preloaded in most of the Dell Ubuntu platforms. DCA-Enabler folders and the relevant files are found at the
following locations:
● /etc/dcae/config/
● /etc/dcae/certificates/
● /var/log/dcae/dcae.log
● /usr/sbin/dcae
You can verify the DCA-Enabler service and package in the Dell Ubuntu platform using the following commands:
● systemctl status dcae.service—The active running version is displayed.
● dpkg -l | grep dca-enabler—The DCA-ENabler version is displayed in the dca-enabler 1.x.0-xx format.
