Version 25.03.3 of the Trusted Zero Client is a maintenance release that replaces and deprecates 25.03.2.
Note: 25.03.2 was the first public 25.03 release of the Trusted Zero Client. These release notes were previously published as 25.03.0, which was an error; the correct version number was 25.03.2.
Version 25.03 of the Trusted Zero Client introduces support for multiple audio output devices on the client side. You can now select multiple audio output devices for playing audio, in addition to a single audio input device while in session.
This capability is only supported on Linux clients and Trusted Zero Clients connecting to Windows Graphics agents or Windows Standard agents. For more information, see Selecting Multiple Audio Devices.
Trusted Zero Client version 25.03 supports authentication of connections to Horizon hosts using Imprivata OneSign Single Sign-On. Imprivata OneSign enables users to access corporate networks, desktops, and applications with a single sign on. This reduces the need for maintaining separate passwords and prevents unauthorized access.
For more information, see Connecting Using Imprivata Authentication.
Version 25.03 of the Trusted Zero Client introduces support for Zoom VDI when connected to Windows Agents. The feature works the same as Omnissa Horizon Agents by offloading the audio and video streams from HP Anyware agent devices to HP Anyware client devices, which handle the processing and transmitting of these streams to and from Zoom servers. This results in reduced latency, and improved meeting experience during PCoIP sessions.
Once installed and configured on the Anyware Windows Agent, the capabilities of Zoom VDI enable quick adoption, leading to a seamless experience while starting and joining meetings. The Zoom VDI Plugin is similar to the Standard Zoom Client, and includes features such as optional end-to-end encryption, gallery view, speaker view, language interpretation, breakout rooms, and screen sharing. For more information, see Media Optimization for Zoom.
Trusted Zero Client can now connect to Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) networks using password authentication. This facilitates access from places where wired networks are unavailable, and permits the mobility of Trusted Zero Clients across networks. For the purpose of enabling Wi-Fi use, new menu options have been introduced in the client interface. These menu options are described in the Settings topic.
Previously, the Trusted Zero Client connected to Anyware Trust Center on TCP port 32443. Going ahead, it will connect on TCP port 443.

Version 24.10 of the Trusted Zero Client contains bug fixes and stability enhancements. Additionally, it also includes the following new features:
Version 24.10 of the Trusted Zero Client introduces support for connecting to remote hosts in the Kiosk Mode. Kiosk Mode is ideal for connecting to fixed-purpose devices, such as point-of-sale terminals and digital signs. When Trusted Zero Clients operate in the Kiosk mode, end-users do not need to provide their credentials, and instead, only see progress indicators while establishing connections. This enables them to bypass the traditional login steps, thus ensuring a seamless login process.
Instructions on connecting to remote hosts in Kiosk mode is available in the "Connecting to Remote Hosts in Kiosk Mode" topic in the Trusted Zero Client 24.10 Administrators' Guide.
Version 24.10 of the Trusted Zero Client supports the ability to customize the login experience. The Settings page on the client UI now has a Connections menu, with an option for enabling automatic login to Anyware Agents as well as Omnissa Horizon Agents. Additionally, users can also configure the client to remember their usernames for future connections to remote hosts.
The new Connections menu provides granular control and the ability to bypass one or more traditional login steps. This allows for a streamlines the login process and provides a personalized experience. For more information, see the "Customizing Automatic Login" topic in the Trusted Zero Client 24.10 Administrators' Guide.
Version 24.10 of the Trusted Zero Client comes with the ability to save support bundles to peripheral devices. When a support bundle is created this way, it is not sent to the Trust Center, and instead, you can control where it is saved. This is useful in scenarios where Trusted Zero Clients cannot connect to the Trust Center. For more information, see "Saving a Support Bundle to a Peripheral Device" in the Trusted Zero Client 24.10 Administrators' Guide.
Version 24.10 introduces improvements to the responsiveness of Wacom tablets tablets operating in high latency networks. For this purpose, a new variable has been introduced:
This ensures that drawing on graphics tablets stays smooth and consistent, even in high-latency network environments.
In version 24.10, support has been introduced for Trusted Zero Clients connecting to RHEL and Rocky Graphics Linux Agents. This addresses an earlier issue where connections to Linux Graphics Agents with SELinux enabled would fail after system reboot.
Release 24.07 of the Trusted Zero Client includes the following:
Version 24.07 of the Trusted Zero Client introduces support for Media Optimization of Microsoft Teams and Media Optimization of Zoom when Trusted Zero Clients are connected to VMware Horizon. Media optimization offloads audio and video streams to the Trusted Zero Clients, which handle the processing and transmitting of the streams to and from the Omnissa VDI. This redirects audio and video calls without overloading the network, resulting in reduced latency, and improved meeting experience during Omnissa Horizon sessions using the PCoIP and Blast protocol.
Enabling media optimization requires no additional configuration aside from the installation of Microsoft Teams and Zoom for VDI. Once this is done, the teleconferencing experience is seamless, without slowing down the remote system or causing network lags.
Note: Media Optimization for Microsoft Teams requires installation of the Teams App on Horizon Agents. Media Optimization for Zoom requires installation of the Zoom Client on Horizon Agents. The Zoom Plugin is already included in Trusted Zero Client. Detailed instructions are provided in the topics "Media Optimization for Teams" and "Media Optimization for Zoom" in the Trusted Zero Client 24.07 Administrators' Guide.
Version 24.07 of the Trusted Zero Client allows users the ability to automatically log in from their Trusted Zero Clients to their desktops, without the need for providing their credentials at the time of login. By enabling direct access to desktops, the auto-login feature allows users to bypass the traditional login steps, thereby streamlining their login experience. For information on connecting to a PCoIP session, see Automatically Connecting to a Session.
Note: The Anyware Trust Center must be configured to enable users to automatically log in. Instructions for setting up the Trust Center are available in the Anyware Trust Center 24.07 Administrators' Guide.
Version 24.10 of the Trusted Zero Client now supports Real-Time Audio-Video (RTAV) for Omnissa Horizon. RTAV allows Horizon 8 users to run Skype, Webex, Google Hangouts, Microsoft Teams, and other online conferencing applications in their remote sessions. With Real-Time Audio-Video, webcam and audio devices that are connected locally to the client system are redirected to the remote sessions.
This feature redirects video and audio data with a significantly lower bandwidth than can be achieved by using USB redirection. Real-Time Audio-Video is compatible with standard conferencing applications and browser-based video applications; and supports standard webcams, audio USB devices, and analog audio input.
In version 24.07, support for Touch Monitor has been introduced. Below is a summary of the features:
