Client Logs

The Software Client for macOS writes log files that document its processes and interactions with other services such as brokers and agents. These files are invaluale in diagnosing problems. This page describes how logs are handled and where they can be found.

Security Modes

Anyware Software Client Security Modes

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:

Capturing Keyboard Keys

The Anyware Software Client for macOS captures all keys and redirects them to the remote machine with the following exceptions:

  • Anyware Client short cuts appearing under the Connection and View menus.
  • Function Keys (F1 to F12) when in system mode.
  • The Eject and Power keys.

When the PCoIP Sessions starts, and the Anyware Client is the focused foreground application, all keys, apart from from those outlined above, will be redirected to the remote machine.

Enabling Accessibility

Enabling Accessibility Permissions for the Anyware Client
