Configure the proxy settings

About this task

This section describes how to configure the proxy settings on your thin client.

Steps

  1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup > Network setup.
    The Network setup dialog box is displayed.
    Table 1. Supported protocolsSupported protocols
    Component Supported protocols Additional information
    Wyse Management Suite HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 It is recommended to use the SOCKS5 protocol.
    Citrix RealTime Media Engine (RTME) HTTP and HTTPS N/A

    1. Configure the proxy servers based on your requirement.
      • Enter the HTTP proxy port number or HTTPS proxy port number, username, and password in the respective fields. However, credential pass through ($UN/$PW) is not recommended because it starts before user sign on.

        Wyse Management Suite uses both HTTP/HTTPS and MQTT protocols to communicate with the WMS/MQTT server. However, the HTTP proxy cannot redirect TCP packages to the MQTT server which requires a SOCKS5 proxy server. If there is only the HTTP server available, the real-time command that requires MQTT does not work.

        NOTE The HTTP/HTTPS proxy default port is 808.
      • Enter the SOCKS5 proxy port number, username, and password in the respective fields. If SOCKS5 proxy is configured, Wyse Management Suite proxy uses the SOCKS5 only. If SOCKS5 is not configured, then Wyse Management Suite proxy searches for alternative protocols, for example, HTTP in the configuration.
        NOTE The SOCKS5 proxy default port is 1080.
      • Select the Use the first proxy server for all protocols check box to enable all the protocols to use the same server in the HTTP Proxy fields. Both HTTP and HTTPS proxy use the same host and port, and SOCKS5 proxy agent uses HTTP host with default Socks5 port (1080).
    2. Specify the supported applications as Wyse Management Suite, FR, and RTME separated by a semicolon in the Apply proxy server on field.
  3. Click OK to save your settings.

User scenario

  1. Configure the SOCKS5 proxy server host and port.
  2. Configure the user credentials according to the proxy server settings.

    After you restart your system, the client checks in to the Wyse Management Suite server through the SOCKS5 proxy server. MQTT connection is established through the SOCKS5 proxy server. Real-time commands work fine through the SOCKS5 proxy server.

  3. Connect to the Citrix desktop, configure proxy in the Internet options of the browser, and playback HDX FR through the HTTP/HTTPS proxy authentication.
