Purpose of Wayk client vs Agent and Wayk Den

Purpose of Wayk client vs Agent and Wayk Den

avatar

So I finished installing and configuring a Wayk Den server and installed a license and registered my first cumputer that had the Wayk Agent on it and then I went to my phone and registered that Wayk client with my Den server however I do not see anything anywhere on the app to show me my registered "servers' on the Den server. I also did the same using my Wayk client on Ubuntu desktop and nothing different. What exactly is the point of the client if I have to go to the Wayk Den website to view and manage servers or even initiate remote access sessions? There's already a web Wayk client right on the Den so what's the desktop or Android apps for if they don't connect and show the list of registered devices on the Den? What am I missing or not understanding about the relationship as these Wayk Bastion components relate to each other?

Hello,

The Wayk Client sole purpose is to initiate connections to remote machines. It does allow more granular control over certain elements, for example the recording quality, the visual quality. A new feature recently added is to allow PowerShell remoting via the application, so the application is also required in that instance.

As you mentionned, you need to be on the Wayk Bastion itself to view already established connections, a list of the machines, manage users, etc. If you are using Remote Desktop Manager, you can add a Wayk Bastion entry to view the remote machines and connect to them as well. By the end of January, you will be able to add Wayk Bastion directly as a data source inside RDM.

I hope this makes the relationship between the components clearer.

Best regards,
