Setting Up an Anyware Agent Test Environment
Before developing your custom client, you should set up a working Anyware system. HP recommends establishing a small proof-of-concept system for custom client testing, consisting of a host machine with an installed Anyware agent.
License Requirement
Before using your test environment, you must install a Anyware agent development license on the host machine. You received a license when you subscribed to a HP Anyware solution, specifically Cloud Access or Cloud Access Plus. If you do not have a license, obtain one from HP before proceeding.
To establish a working proof-of-concept test system:
Anyware System Architecture Reference
For details about proof-of-concept deployments, including supported Anyware agents, environments, and operating systems, see HP Anyware Architecture Guide.
-
Establish your host virtual machine and determine the Anyware agent that best fits your actual Anyware environment.
-
Install the Anyware agent on the host machine. For Anyware agent installation instructions, refer to the appropriate administrators' guide:
- Anyware Standard Agent for Windows Guide
- Anyware Graphics Agent for Windows Guide
- Anyware Standard Agent for Linux Guide
- Anyware Graphics Agent for Linux Guide
- Anyware Graphics Agent for macOS Guide
Note Note:
The Administrators' guides for agents are available on the HP Anyware documentation site.
-
Install your agent license on the host machine. For license installation instructions, see the Administrators' Guide for your host machines Anyware agent.
Connecting To Your Anyware Agent
Once your test system is set up, you can establish PCoIP connections to it using Teradici Anyware Software Clients. For environment testing and troubleshooting purposes, see the HP Anyware Software Client.
Establishing a PCoIP Connection Using an Anyware Software Client
To test your development environment, make a direct (unbrokered) connection to your development host using a Teradici Software Client. If you are able to connect using a Teradici software client, your host is correctly configured. The following illustrations show examples of the pre-session phases using a Teradici software client:
Pre-Session Connection
The user of the Anyware Client requests the Anyware Agent by providing the FQDN of the remote workstation where the Anyware Agent has been installed.
The user of the Anyware client is then authenticated. If authentication is successful, a PCoIP session will be launched.
