In addition to passing arguments via the Command Line, you can also provide parameters via the standard input stream using the --ask-extra-args-as-json parameter. This approach is preferred when you want to pass sensitive data, such as user credentials, to the pcoip-client process. The --ask-extra-args-as-json parameter accepts arguments as JSON strings, thereby ensuring that user data is prevented from being recorded in the shell history.

To launch the client, using the --ask-extra-args-as-json parameter:

HID Local Termination Blacklist

Local Termination of Wacom tablets provides the best user experience in networks with high latency, however some features of the tablet may not be fully supported with local termination. A HID local termination blacklist has been added to override the preferred local termination mode.

H.264 Hardware Decode

The Anyware Software Client for Linux supports H.264 hardware decode for selected hardware configurations on supported hardware platforms. This enables improved frame rate performance when using PCoIP Ultra GPU-Offload or Auto-Offload, especially in conjunction with high resolution content. This feature must be used in combination with the High Performance Client and invoked with --use-egl.

Configuring the Anyware Software Client for Linux

The Anyware Client for Linux provides a number of configurable settings and behaviors, which allow the setting of user options, performance modes, and triggering actions like automated connections.

Security Certificates in Anyware Agents

PCoIP requires a certificate to establish a session. By default, Anyware agents generate a self-signed certificate that secures the PCoIP session. Each component in the PCoIP system can generate these self-signed certificates, which will automatically work together without requiring any configuration.

Installing the Private Key and Certificate on the Anyware agent Desktop

The agent certificate and signing certificate must be installed on each desktop running a Anyware agent.

To install the agent certificate and signing certificate:

1. Open the Microsoft Management Console on the agent machine:

Installing the Internal Root CA Certificate in a Anyware client

Your root CA certificate must be installed in any Anyware client that will be used to connect to the Anyware agent.

Creating And Installing Custom Certificates

This section describes how to replace HP's default certificates with your own custom certificates.

Configuring the Agent Certificate Mode

The Anyware Agent chooses a certificate based on the parameters set in the Configure PCoIP Security Certificate Settings GPO variable.

Since Anyware agents automatically generate and use self-signed certificates by default, you only need to configure the Configure PCoIP Security Certificate Settings GPO variable if you are deploying your own custom certificates.
