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.

Wacom Local Termination on Ubuntu Cloud Hosts

Cloud-based Ubuntu hosts will fail to properly identify Wacom tablets that have been locally-terminated at the Anyware client. When this occurs, pressure sensitivity and other advanced features will not work properly.

To work around this issue, remove the default AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud kernel and replace it with a generic kernel.

Note: Ubuntu cloud hosts only
