For environments that do not use automatic DHCP or DNS discovery, you can manually configure each PCoIP Zero Client with the IP address or FQDN of the PCoIP Management Console to which it should connect. The endpoint must also have a trusted PCoIP Management Console certificate in its certificate store in order for discovery to succeed. Typically, this method is used in medium and high security environments. If your endpoint does not have a pre-loaded certificate, you can use the alternative method of manual endpoint discovery initiated by the PCoIP Management Console.
This example shows how to configure a PCoIP Zero Client for discovery by a specific EM from the endpoint’s AWI Management page. For information about configuring endpoints for automatic discovery from this page, please see “PCoIP® Zero Client Configuration Help” (TER1504003) in the Teradici Support Documentation Center.
Note: In the PCoIP Zero Client Management page shown below, your PCoIP Management Console serves as both the Endpoint Bootstrap Manager (EBM) and the Endpoint Manager (EM). Use the PCoIP Management Console’s IP address or FQDN when specifying either an EBM or an EM URI.
To configure your endpoint with a specific EM:
Important: It is necessary to complete these steps in the sequence shown below.
Note: You can also use this security level for endpoints that are configured for DHCP options discovery or DNS SRV record discovery when the DHCP or DNS server also provisions the endpoint with the EBM certificate’s fingerprint.
If discovery succeeds, the endpoint’s Management page will show the following information:
Note: You can configure the PCoIP Management Console to automatically name endpoints and place them in a specific group when they are discovered. See Auto Naming Endpoints and Auto Configuring Endpoints for details.
