How to Set Up HP Anyware Connector on Rocky Linux for Remote Work

HP Anyware is a secure, high-performance enterprise software solution that allows users to access digital workspaces (Windows, Linux, or macOS) from virtually anywhere, replacing traditional VPNs

Before we start, ensure the Rocky Linux is ready. I am using Rocky 9.7 and also a static IP public to allow connection to this connector from external.

Installation & Setup

Login to CAM and click Add Connector

Select Rocky Linux or RHEL

Execute all the commands for initial setup

Once initial setup done, continue to create the installer command. Here es the setup I am using, aligned with my environment.

Once executed, you will see the installation proccess on the terminal and on the CAM page.

The installation is pretty quick, once completed, you will see the installation successful message.

You will see the new connector on the connector list. I will just ignore the warning because the use of plain connection to AD.

Just in case you need to change the RADIUS auth settings

sudo /usr/local/bin/anyware-connector configure --enable-mfa=true --radius-server '192.168.xx.xx' --radius-port 1812  --radius-secret [your password here]

or manually set the public IP as external address

sudo /usr/local/bin/anyware-connector configure --external-pcoip-ip [your public IP here]

Testing the Remote Session

The AD account in my environment are synced to Azure Entra ID, so I will also get a notification on my Microsoft Authenticator to approve the connection.
