The Anyware Software Client uses certificates to verify the identity of the host to which it connects. The security mode is configured by the security_mode setting in the Anyware Client configuration file or by setting its value in the pre-session user interface.
Three security mode options are available:
The following system libraries are used by the Software Client for Linux:
You can manage connections and desktops that you previously added from the pre-session UI. Follow the instructions detailed in this topic to manage your connections and desktops.
From the pre-session UI, the following actions are possible:
To disconnect a PCoIP session:
If you are in a full-screen mode, reveal the Anyware Client for Linux menu bar by moving the mouse cursor to the top of a display.
From the Anyware 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.
Smartcards can be used to connect to:
Additionally, you must ensure that the prerequisites listed in either of these topics are met:
The Anyware 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
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.
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:
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.
