Enabling FIPS Mode on the Client
You can set a configuration property so that the client uses only FIPS (Federal Information Processing
Standard) 140-2 approved cryptographic algorithms and protocols to establish a remote PCoIP connection.
NOTE View PCoIP FIPS mode does not support AES-256 encryption algorithms.
This setting applies to both server and client. You can configure either endpoint or both endpoints to
operate in FIPS mode. Configuring a single endpoint to operate in FIPS mode limits the encryption
algorithms that are available for session negotiation.
IMPORTANT If you enable FIPS mode on one endpoint but the other endpoint does not support
cryptographic algorithms that are approved by FIPS 140-2, the connection will fail.
When this setting is disabled or not configured, FIPS mode is not used.
Setting the Configuration Property
To enable or disable FIPS mode, you can set the pcoip.enable_fips_mode property. Setting the property
to 1 turns on FIPS mode, and setting the property to 0 turns off FIPS mode. For example, the following
setting turns on FIPS mode:
pcoip.enable_fips_mode = 1
Use a space before and after the equals (=) sign.
You can set this property in any of several files. When View Client starts up, the setting is processed from
various locations in the following order:
1 /etc/teradici/pcoip_admin_defaults.conf
2 ~/.pcoip.rc
3 /etc/teradici/pcoip_admin.conf
If a setting is defined in multiple locations, the value that is used is the value from the last file read.
Configuring the PCoIP Client-Side Image Cache
PCoIP client-side image caching stores image content on the client to avoid retransmission. This feature is
enabled by default to reduce bandwidth usage.
IMPORTANT This feature is available only when the version of View Agent and View Connection Server is
View 5.0 or later.
