View Administrator sends the updated external URLs to the security server. You do not need to restart the
security server service for the changes to take effect.
Replacing Default Ports for View Services
During installation, View services are set up to listen on certain network ports by default. In certain
organizations, these ports must be changed to comply with organization policies or to avoid contention. You
can change the default ports that are used by View Connection Server, security server, PCoIP Secure
Gateway, View Composer, and View Transfer Server services.
Changing ports is an optional setup task. Use the default ports if your deployment does not require you to
change them.
For a list of the default TCP and UDP ports that are used by View servers, see "View TCP and UDP Ports" in
the VMware Horizon View Security document.
Replace the Default HTTP Ports or NICs for View Connection Server Instances
and Security Servers
You can replace the default HTTP ports or NICs for a View Connection Server instance or security server by
editing the locked.properties file on the View server computer. Your organization might require you to
perform these tasks to comply with organization policies or to avoid contention.
The default SSL port is 443. The default non-SSL port is 80.
The port that is specified in the secure tunnel External URL does not change as a result of changes that you
make to ports in this procedure. Depending on your network configuration, you might have to change the
secure tunnel External URL port as well.
If the View server computer has multiple NICs, the computer listens on all NICs by default. You can select
one NIC to listen on the configured port by specifying the IP address that is bound to that NIC.
During installation, View configures the Windows firewall to open the required default ports. If you change
a port number or the NIC on which it listens, you must manually reconfigure your Windows firewall to
open the updated ports so that View Client devices can connect to the View server.
Prerequisites
Verify that the port that is specified in the External URL for this View Connection Server instance or security
server will continue to be valid after you change ports in this procedure.
Procedure
1 Create or edit the locked.properties file in the SSL gateway configuration folder on the View
Connection Server or security server computer.
For example: install_directory\VMware\VMware View\Server\sslgateway\conf\locked.properties
The properties in the locked.properties file are case sensitive.
2 Add the serverPort or serverPortNonSsl property, or both properties, to the locked.properties file.
For example:
serverPort=4443
serverPortNonSsl=8080
