Proxy Configuration

For proper operation, ensure the openthinclient Management Server has Internet access, including for the following functions:

  • Install application packages
  • Find and install updates for the openthinclient Manager.
  • Communicating with the license server

If Internet access in the network is available through a proxy, configure the necessary settings: 

  • during the installation of the openthinclient software
  • in the WebUI

Note, these settings apply only to the openthinclient Management Server.

To change the proxy settings of the virtual appliance’s operating system, use the Network Proxy desktop application or the Control Center.

To configure the thin clients, use the configuration options of the respective application.

Configuration via the WebUI

In the WebUI, click Basic Settings > Proxy Configuration.
