Table 8-34. View PCoIP General Session Variables
(Continued)
Setting Description
Enable access to a PCoIP session from
a vSphere console
Determines whether to allow a vSphere Client console to display an active
PCoIP session and send input to the desktop.
By default, when a client is attached through PCoIP, the vSphere Client
console screen is blank and the console cannot send input. The default
setting ensures that a malicious user cannot view the user's desktop or
provide input to the host locally when a PCoIP remote session is active.
This setting applies to View Agent only.
When this setting is disabled or not configured, console access is not
allowed. When this setting is enabled, the console displays the PCoIP
session and console input is allowed.
When
this setting is enabled, the console can display a PCoIP session that
is running on a Windows 7 system only when the Windows 7 virtual
machine is hardware v8. Hardware v8 is available only on ESX 5.0 and
later. By contrast, console input to a Windows 7 system is allowed when
the virtual machine is any hardware version.
On a Windows XP or Windows Vista system, the console can display a
PCoIP session when the virtual machine is any hardware version.
Enable the FIPS 140-2 approved mode of
operation
Determines whether to use only FIPS 140-2 approved cryptographic
algorithms
and protocols to establish a remote PCoIP connection. Enabling
this setting overrides the disabling of AES128-GCM encryption.
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.
FIPS mode is available for View 4.5 and later. For View 4.0.x and earlier,
FIPS mode is not available, and configuring this setting has no effect.
When this setting is disabled or not configured, FIPS mode is not used.
Enable/disable audio in the PCoIP
session
Determines whether audio is enabled in PCoIP sessions. Both endpoints
must have audio enabled. When this setting is enabled, PCoIP audio is
allowed. When it is disabled, PCoIP audio is disabled. When this setting
is not configured, audio is enabled by default.
Enable/disable microphone noise and
DC offset filter in PCoIP session
Determines whether to enable the microphone noise and DC offset filter
for microphone input during PCoIP sessions.
This setting applies to View Agent and Teradici audio driver only.
When this setting is not configured, the Teradici audio driver uses the
microphone noise and DC offset filter by default.
Turn on PCoIP user default input
language synchronization
Determines whether the default input language for the user in the PCoIP
session is synchronized with the default input language of the PCoIP client
endpoint. When this setting is enabled, synchronization is allowed. When
this setting is disabled or not configured, synchronization is disallowed.
This setting applies to View Agent only.
