The Anyware Software Client uses certificates to verify the identity of the host to which it connects. The security mode is configured by the security_mode setting in the Anyware Client configuration file or by setting its value in the pre-session user interface.
Three security mode options are available:
You can manage connections and desktops that you previously added from the pre-session UI. Follow the instructions detailed in this topic to manage your connections and desktops.

Refer to System Requirements for supported versions.
The Software Client for macOS can connect to any remote host with a Anyware agent installed and configured, or a Remote Workstation Card. Remote hosts can be Windows, macOS, or Linux, and connections can be made directly (client direct to host) or brokered through Anyware Manager or a Connection Manager.
Note: Remote Workstation Card connections
