Setting Up an Anyware Agent Test Environment

Before developing your custom client, you should set up a working Anyware system. HP recommends establishing a small proof-of-concept system for custom client testing, consisting of a host machine with an installed Anyware agent.

License Requirement

Before using your test environment, you must install a Anyware agent development license on the host machine. You received a license when you subscribed to a HP Anyware solution, specifically Cloud Access or Cloud Access Plus. If you do not have a license, obtain one from HP before proceeding.

To establish a working proof-of-concept test system:

Anyware System Architecture Reference

For details about proof-of-concept deployments, including supported Anyware agents, environments, and operating systems, see HP Anyware Architecture Guide.

  1. Establish your host virtual machine and determine the Anyware agent that best fits your actual Anyware environment.

  2. Install the Anyware agent on the host machine. For Anyware agent installation instructions, refer to the appropriate administrators' guide:

  3. Install your agent license on the host machine. For license installation instructions, see the Administrators' Guide for your host machines Anyware agent.

Connecting To Your Anyware Agent

Once your test system is set up, you can establish PCoIP connections to it using Teradici Anyware Software Clients. For environment testing and troubleshooting purposes, the Teradici Anyware Software Client is available here:

Establishing a PCoIP Connection Using an Anyware Software Client

To test your development environment, make a direct (unbrokered) connection to your development host using a Teradici Software Client. If you are able to connect using a Teradici software client, your host is correctly configured. The following illustrations show examples of the pre-session phases using a Teradici software client:

Pre-Session Connection

The user of the Anyware Client requests the Anyware Agent by providing the FQDN of the remote workstation where the Anyware Agent has been installed. Requesting Connection to Anyware Agent

The user of the Anyware client is then authenticated. If authentication is successful, a PCoIP session will be launched. PCoIP Session is launched
