When you install the HTML Access component, the VMware Horizon View
Connection Server (Blast-In) rule is enabled in the Windows Firewall, so
that the firewall is automatically configured to allow inbound traffic to TCP
port 8443.
Security Server
View Security Server: The same version as View Connection Server must be
installed on the security server.
If client systems connect from outside the corporate firewall, VMware
recommends that you use a security server. With a security server, client
systems will not require a VPN connection.
NOTE A single security server can support up to 800 simultaneous
connections to Web clients.
Third-party firewalls
Add rules to allow the following traffic:
n
Servers (including security servers, View Connection Server instances,
and replica servers): inbound traffic to TCP port 8443.
n
Remote desktop virtual machines: inbound traffic (from servers) to TCP
port 22443.
Display protocol for
View
VMware Blast
When you use a Web browser to access a remote desktop, the VMware Blast
protocol is used rather than PCoIP or Microsoft RDP. VMware Blast uses
HTTPS (HTTP over SSL/TLS).
Preparing View Connection Server and Security Servers for
HTML Access
Administrators must perform specific tasks so that end users can connect to remote desktops using a Web
browser.
Before end users can connect to View Connection Server or a security server and access a remote desktop,
you must install View Connection Server with the HTML Access component and install security servers.
IMPORTANT For some versions of HTML Access, if you accidentally install View Connection Server without
the HTML Access option and then later decide that you do want the HTML Access component, you must
uninstall View Connection Server and then run the installer again with the HTML Access option selected.
When you uninstall View Connection Server, do not uninstall the View LDAP configuration, called the AD
LDS Instance VMwareVDMDS instance.
For other versions of HTML Access, you use a separate installer for HTML Access and so do not need to
reinstall View Connection Server.
