Previous release information:
Release 23.12 of the Client SDK for Linux includes:
Support for Custom Certificate Store¶
Version 23.12 of the Client SDK supports custom Certificate Stores, which are required for special scenarios such as high security applications. Such applications require only a subset of the standard Certifying Authorities (CAs) in the Certificate Store that the Broker Client API uses for validating broker requests. Support for custom Certificate Stores is achieved by means of the newly-added pcoip_broker_set_ca_store() function, which permits a custom Certificate Store to be used for broker certificate validation. For more information, see Broker Certificate Validation.
Pause/break key can now be sent to the PCoIP host from Linux Anyware client or client SDK
Pause/break key can now be sent to the PCoIP host from a Linux client (both Anyware client and client SDK).
Caps Lock Key Press Events Are Not Synchronized When Using a JIS Layout Keyboard
Caps Lock press events on a Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Layout keyboard connected to a client machine are not synchronized on the agent machine if the Caps Lock key is pressed outside the PCoIP session (for example, when the PCoIP client window is minimized). This happens because on JIS Layout keyboards, the Caps Lock key, or the Eisu (英数) key is used to toggle between English and Japanese input.
If a JIS Layout keyboard is connected on the client machine, do one of the following:
- Before establishing the PCoIP session, set the input language to a language other than Japanese.
- During an active PCoIP session, if a Caps Lock press event becomes unsynchronized, disconnect from the session, and connect again.
- When a PCoIP session is minimized, DO NOT press the Caps Lock key outside of the PCoIP client window.
Dialog authentication with keyword "passcode" in the prompt may not work
When the dialog authentication has the keyword "passcode" in the prompt, the values in the fields may not sent to the broker or PCoIP agent.
Change the prompt in the dialog authentication sent by the broker not to contain the keyword "passcode".
The name of network shown in Anyware Health Monitor does not change during a session
In Anyware Health Monitor, the name of network shown will not change during a session even if the actual network changes.
For example, if an ethernet cable is pulled out and the system switches to WiFi, the name of network will not change in the Anyware Health Monitor display until the session is disconnected and reconnected.
