    WUYING Terminal:Configure a desktop client

    Last Updated:Dec 11, 2025

    This topic describes how to configure the Alibaba Cloud Workspace client (Windows client or macOS client).

    Important

    This topic uses the macOS client V7.13 and the Enterprise Edition as an example. If your experience differs from the description in this topic, you may be using a different client or an outdated version. Upgrade to the latest version.

    Configure the network proxy

    1. Access the configuration page based on your logon status:

      • Before you log on: In the upper-right corner of the client logon page, click the icon and choose Settings.

      • After you log on: In the upper-right corner of the cloud resources page, click the icon and choose Settings.

    2. In the Settings window, choose Network > Proxy.

    3. Enable the proxy service and follow the on-screen instructions to configure the network proxy.

      Note

      HTTP and SOCKS proxies are supported.

    Manage USB peripherals

    After you connect a USB peripheral, such as an audio or video device, storage device, or printer, to your local computer, you can view the device's basic information. This information includes its name, type, vendor ID (VID), and product ID (PID). You can also configure the peripheral's redirection and application modes.

    1. Access the configuration page based on your logon status:

      • Before you log on: In the upper-right corner of the client logon page, click the icon and choose Settings.

      • After you log on: In the upper-right corner of the cloud resources page, click the icon and choose Settings.

    2. In the Settings window, click Peripherals.

    3. On the Local USB Peripherals panel, perform the following operations as needed:

      • Disable a USB peripheral: Select the target peripheral and turn off the switch on the right. To re-enable it, turn the switch back on.

      • Set the redirection mode:

        • Device Redirection: Prioritizes performance, such as increasing data transmission speed. If you select this mode, you do not need to install the peripheral driver on the cloud computer.

        • USB Port Redirection: Prioritizes peripheral compatibility. If you select this mode, you may need to install the peripheral driver on the cloud computer.

      • Set the application mode (for cameras only): You can set the peripheral to Camera or Scanner mode.

    Authorize the peripheral service

    On the macOS client, you must first authorize the EDS peripheral service to start with administrator privileges. This allows the cloud computer to automatically detect and connect to U-key devices plugged into your Mac computer.

    Prerequisites

    • The macOS client must be V7.10 or later.

    • The cloud computer image must be V2.8.1 or later.

    Procedure

    1. Access the configuration page based on your logon status:

      • Before you log on: In the upper-right corner of the client logon page, click the icon and choose Settings.

      • After you log on: In the upper-right corner of the cloud resources page, click the icon and choose Settings.

    2. In the Settings window, click Peripherals.

    3. At the bottom of the panel that appears, turn on Allow Peripheral Service to Run as Administrator.

    4. In the confirmation window that appears, enter the password for your local computer and confirm the operation.

      Note

      The setting takes effect immediately after you turn on the switch. You do not need to restart the client or reconnect to the cloud computer.

      Important

      To use a local webcam or USB flash drive on the cloud computer, first turn off this switch and restart the client.

    Set the display language

    You can set the display language of the client interface. Supported languages include Simplified Chinese and English.

    1. Access the configuration page based on your logon status:

      • Before you log on: In the upper-right corner of the client logon page, click the icon and choose Settings.

      • After you log on: In the upper-right corner of the cloud resources page, click the icon and choose Settings.

    2. In the Settings window, choose General > Language.

    3. In the Preferred Language area, select the target language.

      Note

      This setting affects the display language of both the client interface and the DesktopAssistant menu on the cloud computer desktop.
