To disconnect a PCoIP session:
If you are in a full-screen mode, reveal the Software Client for Linux menu bar by moving the mouse cursor to the top of a display.
From the Software Client for Linux menu bar, select Connection > Disconnect.
You can connect to remote workstations equipped with a Remote Workstation Card, and with Remote Workstation Card Software (for Windows or Linux) installed.
Refer to System Requirements for supported versions.
The Software Client for Linux can connect to any remote host with a Anyware agent installed and configured, or a Remote Workstation Card. Remote hosts can be Windows, macOS, or Linux, and connections can be made directly (client direct to host) or brokered through Anyware Manager or a Connection Manager.
Note: Remote Workstation Card connections
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:
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.
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.
The Software 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.
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.
The agent certificate and signing certificate must be installed on each desktop running a Anyware agent.
To install the agent certificate and signing certificate:
Open the Microsoft Management Console on the agent machine:
