Release Notes

Connection Manager and Security Gateway 24.03

Release 24.03 of the PCoIP Connection Manager and PCoIP Security Gateway includes the following:

PCoIP Security Gateway Failover

Multiple PCoIP Security Gateways can be deployed to handle automatic failover. When multiple gateways are deployed, if the gateway being used by a PCoIP session becomes unavailable, the session is automatically transferred to the next available gateway. To use this feature, configure the Connection Manager using the --external-sg-ip flag with the addresses of the failover security brokers. Only IP addresses are supported; adding gateways by FQDN will be supported in a future release.

VMware Broker to manage PCoIP Connections Beta

The Connection Manager and Security Gateway use the VMware Broker to establish the PCoIP connection with the remote workstations in this release. This capability is only available for use with the Anyware Graphics Agent. To use this feature, configure --broker-url with the address of the VMware broker, and --enable-horizon.

Known Issue:  The user may intermittently be presented with the lock screen upon session establishment.

Workaround: Press ctrl+alt+del and Sign-out from the operating system. (Do not disconnect the connection).

Known Issue: Anyware Standard Agent may crash if the VMware Broker Agent is installed alongside it.
