Endpoints remains responsive when an active connection to the AWI is interrupted
When an active connection to the AWI is interrupted (e.g. network connection momentarily gets disconnected), endpoints no longer become sluggish or unresponsive.
USB drive is not available in the PCoIP session when connecting an Anyware software client to Remote Workstation Card in a Linux Workstation<
When connecting to a Remote Workstation Card on a Linux workstation using the Anyware Software Client, USB drives do not show up on the list of connected devices in the PCoIP session.
PCoIP Client unable to connect to Remote Workstation Card when root cert installed.
The PCoIP Root CA cert may be installed into a client system in order to enable access to the Remote Workstation Card web user interface. Installing this certificate will prevent the PCoIP client from establishing a PCoIP session with the same Remote Workstation Card using the legacy direct connection method.
Loading AWI pages may be slow
Occasionally, AWI pages are slow to load and appear with missing menu items, especially the home page.
Uploading the PCoIP certificate to the browser will improve the responsiveness significantly while refreshing the AWI page will display the missing menu items.
PCoIP endpoint fails 802.1X authentication when Root CA certificate is not in the certificate store
When the EAP TLS server has a CA signed certificate, the PCoIP endpoint 802.1X will fail authentication when the Root CA is not in the certificate store.
802.1X setups with a self-signed certificate in the EAP TLS server is not affected.
Firmware 21.07.0 and later does not store the Root CA certificate during a SCEP request.
Add the Root CA certificate in the PCoIP endpoint certificate store. This can be done via the Web UI or the Management Console.
'Direct-to-Host + SLP Host discovery' connections intermittently reset device after changing network segments
If the Zero Client and Remote Workstation Card are configured to connect via 'Direct-to-Host + SLP Host Discovery', and then placed on a different subnet/network, the first connection may result in a reset of the Zero Client or Remote Workstation Card resetting.
Subsequent connections on the new network/subnet will not have this issue.
Use the 'Direct-to-Host' option when connecting from Zero Client to Remote Workstation Card.
View Horizon brokered connection to Remote Workstation Card fails in Horizon 7.7.0 and newer
Starting with Horizon 7.7.0, PCoIP session can no longer be established to a View brokered Remote Workstation Card via PCoIP security gateway. Horizon 7.6.0 is fine.
Re-enable the legacy mode wherein the embedded self-signed certificate is used. # Navigate to the HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Teradici\SecurityGateway registry key. # Add a new String (REG_SZ) value, SSLCertPresentLegacyCertificate, to this registry key. # Set the SSLCertPresentLegacyCertificate value to 1. # Restart the VMware Horizon View PCoIP Security Gateway service
Local cursor corruption is observed when DPI other that 100% is used, for Zero Client to Remote Workstation Card connections.
Cursor corruption observed if Windows DPI is greater than 100% on Remote Workstation Card connections
Set Windows DPI scaling to 100%. Logout of windows, log back in, then change the DPI scaling to desired value.
Note: the mouse will not scale, but the corruption will not occur.
Frequent webpage reloading shows different content in Chrome
When using Chrome, performing frequently or fast webpage reloading can result in portions of an AWI page that are not normally visible to become visible. This has not been observed on Firefox or Edge.
Internet Explorer 11 does not trust the Administrative Web Interface certificate
Internet Explorer 11 does not trust the Administrative Web Interface certificate if the AWI is accessed via IP address (it will trust the certificate when using the FQDN).
Profile application to a Remote Workstation Card fails when Enable Audio has not been enabled
Applying a Profile to a Remote Workstation Card from PCoIP Management Console will be unsuccessful if the Enable Audio setting on the Remote Workstation Card has never been enabled (default is disabled) or the Remote Workstation Card has not had the Enable Audio setting enabled since the last Reset Parameters setting has been applied.
In either case, after attempting to apply the profile, the PCoIP Management Console may display incorrect statuses of the endpoint. For example, if the profile attempted to peer the Remote Workstation Card to a PCoIP Zero Client, the status will display as peered when the Remote Workstation Card may be in a state ready to accept any connection.
To make sure your profile is applied to the Remote Workstation Card correctly, ensure the Enable Audio setting has been enabled in the profile you are applying or ensure the setting has been enabled once prior to applying a new profile.
