Unable to access AWI if uppercase label is used

If the 'PCoIP Device Name' uses uppercase letters, user will encounter 'HTTP 404 - Not Found' error when trying to access the AWI.

Example: If 'PCoIP Device Name' is set to 'Mydevice123', and you enter the URL https://mydevice123.mycompany.com, you will see the 'HTTP 404 - Not Found' error.

Workaround:

Set 'PCoIP Device Name' to use all lowercase letters. Ie. if 'PCoIP Device Name' is 'Mydevice123', set the label to 'mydevice123'.

Note: The label has to be set to all lowercase. See [https://teradici.com/web-help/pcoipzeroclient/tera2/21.01/assigninganame/#assigning-a-device-name-from-the-awi]

Workaround:

Re-enable the legacy mode wherein the embedded self-signed certificate is used. # Navigate to the HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Teradici\SecurityGateway registry key. # Add a new String (REG_SZ) value, SSLCertPresentLegacyCertificate, to this registry key. # Set the SSLCertPresentLegacyCertificate value to 1. # Restart the VMware Horizon View PCoIP Security Gateway service

Profile application to a Remote Workstation Card fails when Enable Audio has not been enabled

70793

Applying a Profile to a Remote Workstation Card from PCoIP Management Console will be unsuccessful if the Enable Audio setting on the Remote Workstation Card has never been enabled (default is disabled) or the Remote Workstation Card has not had the Enable Audio setting enabled since the last Reset Parameters setting has been applied. 

In either case, after attempting to apply the profile, the PCoIP Management Console may display incorrect statuses of the endpoint. For example, if the profile attempted to peer the Remote Workstation Card to a PCoIP Zero Client, the status will display as peered when the Remote Workstation Card may be in a state ready to accept any connection.

Workaround:

To make sure your profile is applied to the Remote Workstation Card correctly, ensure the Enable Audio setting has been enabled in the profile you are applying or ensure the setting has been enabled once prior to applying a new profile.
