NOTE SSL is required for all Horizon Client connections and View Administrator connections to View. If
your View deployment uses load balancers or other client-facing, intermediate servers, you can off-load SSL
to them and then configure non-SSL connections on individual View Connection Server instances and
security servers. See "Off-load SSL Connections to Intermediate Servers" in the View Administration
document.

Connection Server or security server host when users connect to a View desktop or an
