Components for Configuration
We will assume you already have a fully functioning View environment that utilizes VMware’s View connection broker. We are going to configure a Wyse V10L to handle the user authenticate and single sign-on for our users to access their virtual desktop running on our ESX cluster.
The WYSE V10L uses DHCP boot options to obtain its initial configuration. For those of you who have experience with IP phones, it works almost the same way. The DHCP boot options tell the WYSE V10L it’s protocol and location for its configuration. Retrieving these values from DHCP, the WYSE V10L then FTP’s its configuration file (wnos.ini) down to gain its remaining configuration (desktop options, connection broker IP address etc.)
For this deployment, we will need the following components:
- View Connection Broker (with a functioning View environment)
- DNS server (for name resolution)
- DHCP server (for IP address assignment and for the WYSE V10L to retrieve its power-on config)
- FTP server (to store the configuration file – wnos.ini - of the WYSE V10L)
