Anyware Trust Center Administrators' Guide¶
The Anyware Trust Center provides a management and security plane for a Trusted Zero Client deployment. Using the Anyware Trust Center, administrators can register Trusted Zero Clients, manage their capabilities and features, enable and disable connections, and monitor access behavior.
The Anyware Trust Center is an application composed of multiple services on a single VM. It connects to Trusted Zero Client endpoints and your Endpoint Manager.
Important: About Endpoint Managers
The Anyware Trust Center is an API service, and has no user interface. All user interaction and interfaces are provided by an Endpoint Manager, also called Endpoint Management Software (EMS). Endpoint Management Software is available from the hardware manufacturer of your Trusted Zero Client.
Anyware Trust Center Architecture¶
The Anyware Trust Center is composed of multiple feature services which communicate internally within the cluster, and also securely communicate with the distributed Trusted Zero Clients and the Endpoint Manager.
