Configure the Secure Tunnel and PCoIP Secure Gateway
When the secure tunnel is enabled, Horizon Client makes a second HTTPS connection to the View
Connection Server or security server host when users connect to a remote desktop.
When the PCoIP Secure Gateway is enabled, Horizon Client makes a further secure connection to the View
Connection Server or security server host when users connect to a remote desktop with the PCoIP display
protocol.
N With Horizon 6 version 6.2 and later releases, you can use Unied Access Gateway appliances, rather
than security servers, for secure external access to Horizon 6 servers and desktops. If you use
Unied Access Gateway appliances, you must disable the secure gateways on View Connection Server
instances and enable these gateways on the Unied Access Gateway appliances. For more information, see
Deploying and Conguring Unied Access Gateway.
When the secure tunnel or PCoIP Secure Gateway is not enabled, a session is established directly between
the client system and the remote desktop virtual machine, bypassing the View Connection Server or security
server host. This type of connection is called a direct connection.
I A typical network conguration that provides secure connections for external clients includes a
security server. To use View Administrator to enable or disable the secure tunnel and PCoIP Secure Gateway
on a security server, you must edit the View Connection Server instance that is paired with the security
server.
In a network conguration in which external clients connect directly to a View Connection Server host, you
enable or disable the secure tunnel and PCoIP Secure Gateway by editing that View Connection Server
instance in View Administrator.
Prerequisites
n
If you intend to enable the PCoIP Secure Gateway, verify that the View Connection Server instance and
paired security server are View 4.6 or later.
n
If you pair a security server to a View Connection Server instance on which you already enabled the
PCoIP Secure Gateway, verify that the security server is View 4.6 or later.
