Example: locked.properties file
This le allows non-SSL HTTP connections to a View server. The IP address of the View server's client-
facing network interface is 10.20.30.40. The server uses the default port 80 to listen for HTTP connections.
The value http must be lower case.
serverProtocol=http
serverHostNonSSL=10.20.30.40
Configure the Gateway Location for a View Connection Server or Security
Server Host
By default, View Connection Server instances set the gateway location to Internal and security servers set
the gateway location to External. You can change the default gateway location by seing the
gatewayLocation property in the locked.properties le.
The gateway location determines the value of the ViewClient_Broker_GatewayLocation registry key in a
remote desktop. You can use this value with Smart Policies to create a policy that takes eect only if a user
connects to a remote desktop from inside or outside your corporate network. For more information, see
"Using Smart Policies" in the Seing Up Desktop and Application Pools in View document.
Procedure
1 Create or edit the locked.properties le in the SSL gateway conguration folder on the View
Connection Server or security server host.
For example: install_directory\VMware\VMware View\Server\sslgateway\conf\locked.properties
The properties in the locked.properties le are case sensitive.
2 Add the following line to the locked.properties le:
gatewayLocation=value
value can be either External or Internal. External indicates that the gateway is available for users
outside the corporate network. Internal indicates that the gateway is available only for users inside the
corporate network.
For example: gatewayLocation=External
3 Save the locked.properties le.
4 Restart the VMware Horizon View Connection Server service or the VMware Horizon View Security
Server service to make your changes take eect.
Disable or Enable View Connection Server
You can disable a View Connection Server instance to prevent users from logging in to their remote
desktops and applications. After you disable an instance, you can enable it again.
When you disable a View Connection Server instance, users who are currently logged in to remote desktops
and applications are not aected.
Your View deployment determines how users are aected by disabling an instance.
n
If this is a single, standalone View Connection Server instance, users cannot log in to their remote
desktops or applications. They cannot connect to View Connection Server.
n
If this is a replicated View Connection Server instance, your network topology determines whether
users can be routed to another replicated instance. If users can access another instance, they can log in
to their remote desktops and applications.
