Article summary

IMPORTANT

If a settings profile is not specified in WMS, then the default profile for ThinOS 8.5 - 8.6 will be used automatically. This may cause issues if you have ThinOS 9.1.1+ endpoints. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you use WMS to set the profile to use for ThinOS 9.1.1+ endpoints.

NOTE

For ThinOS 8.5-8.6 endpoints, it is not possible to specify which settings profile they should use. Therefore, a ThinOS 8.5-8.6 system will always use the Default profile that is found under Settings > End Point > Dell ThinOS > Version 8.5-8.6.

If you have Dell ThinOS 9.1.1+ endpoints, it is highly recommended that you specify which settings profile those endpoints should use by following these steps:

  1. Sign on to the Wyse Management Suite (WMS).
  2. On the left-hand side, select the group which contains the endpoints that you want to configure.
  3. On the right-hand side, upper right corner, click Edit Policies and click ThinOS 9.x.
  4. On the left-hand side, click Advanced and then Login Experience and 3rd Party Authentication.
  5. Under 3rd Party Authentication Settings on the right,
    1. In the Select Authentication Type drop-down, select Identity Automation
    2. In the Identity Automation Server field, enter the FQDN of the Identity Automation server
    3. In the API Key field, enter the API key value. This value can be obtained by logging into the Lynx Admin web app and then clicking Settings > API.
    4. In the Configuration ID field, enter the Profile ID for the settings profile that you want this group of ThinOS endpoints to use. This Profile ID will be listed under the Settings > End Points > Dell ThinOS > Version 9.1.1 tab. See the screenshot below for an example.
    5. Click Save & Publish to save your changes in WMS and publish the configuration to your ThinOS endpoints.
