What's New in This Release

Release 24.10 of the Anyware Trust Center contains bug fixes and stability enhancements. Additionally, it also includes the following:

Support for Kiosk Mode¶

Version 24.10 of the Trust Center introduces support for enabling the Kiosk mode in Trusted Zero Clients. This feature builds upon the existing Automatic login functionality, and allows for the creation of fixed purpose devices such as point-of-sale terminals and digital signs.

In Kiosk Mode, the process of connecting to remote hosts is simplified. End-users do not need to provide their credentials, and instead, only see a progress indicator while establishing a connection. The ability to bypass traditional login steps ensures that end-users experience a seamless login process.

For instructions on enabling Kiosk mode, see Enabling Kiosk mode.

Trust Center 24.10 comes with the ability to control the login experience of the Trusted Zero clients. Depending on the configuration, Trusted Zero Clients can skip one or more of the following login steps:

Connecting to a broker
Providing user credentials
Selecting a desktop

The ability to bypass one or more traditional login steps simplifies and streamlines the login process, and enhances the user experience.

For more information, see Configuring the Login Experience on the Trusted Zero Clients.

Management API Endpoint for Sorting¶

Version 24.10 introduces the following new query parameters for sorting:

sortKey

This represents the field to sort by
sortDirection (ASC or DESC)

This represents the sorting order

The parameters have been added to the GET /endpoints, GET /commands, and GET /assets routes.

The new query parameters enable sorting by a field or column of choice, making it easier to present data in a meaningful way.

Support for Deleting Endpoints¶

Trust Center version 24.10 now supports deleting endpoint twin records using the management API. You can delete an endpoint by sending a DELETE request to /api/v1/endpoints/:endpointId.

However, if an endpoint is connected to Trust Center, it will attempt to reconnect and recreate a new digital twin with empty properties, and therefore, cannot be directly removed with a DELETE request. To completely remove the endpoint, you must first factory reset the endpoint to disconnect it from Trust Center. Once this is done, use the DELETE API to remove the endpoint.

Support for Bulk Endpoint Commands¶

Trust Center version 24.10 API now supports a new route, POST / commands, to send the same command to multiple endpoints. Endpoints are selected by specifying tags in the request body. The command and payload is then sent to all endpoints matching the provided tags.

Support for Bulk Endpoint Updates¶

Trust Center version 24.10 API now supports a new route, PUT /endpoints, to update multiple endpoint desired or default properties. Endpoints are selected by specifying tags in the request body. The property value is then applied to all endpoints matching the provided tags at the specified property path.
