What to do next
Make sure that the port that is used by HTML Access to allow connections to security servers is opened on
the Windows firewall. See “Open the Port Used by HTML Access on Security Servers,” on page 21.
You can modify the View Portal page by hiding either the View Client icon or HTML Access icon from
users. See "Configure the HTML Access Page for End Users" in the Using VMware Horizon View HTML Access
document, located on the VMware Horizon View Clients Documentation page.
Open the Port Used by HTML Access on Security Servers
When you install View Connection Server or security server, the View server installer creates the Windows
Firewall rule for the port that is used by HTML Access for client connections, but the installer leaves the rule
disabled until it is actually needed. When you later install HTML Access on a View Connection Server
instance, the HTML Access installer automatically enables the rule to allow communication to that port.
However, on security servers, you must manually enable the rule in the Windows Firewall to allow
communication to the port.
By default, HTML Access uses TCP port 8443 for client connections to the Blast Secure Gateway.
Procedure
n
To open the port used by HTML Access on a View Connection Server computer, install HTML Access
on that computer.
The HTML Access installer enables the VMware View Connection Server (Blast-In) rule in the
Windows Firewall.
n
To open the port for HTML Access on a security server, manually enable the VMware View
Connection Server (Blast-In) rule in the Windows Firewall.
Uninstall HTML Access from View Connection Server
You can remove HTML Access by using the same method you use to remove other Windows software.
Procedure
1 On the View Connection Server hosts where HTML Access is installed, open the Uninstall a Program
applet provided by the Windows Control Panel.
2 Select HTML Access and click Uninstall.
3 (Optional) In the Windows Firewall for that host, verify that TCP port 8443 no longer allows inbound
traffic.
What to do next
Disallow inbound traffic to TCP port 8443 on the Windows Firewall of any paired security servers. If
applicable, on third-party firewalls, change the rules to disallow inbound traffic to TCP port 8443 for all
paired security servers and this View Connection Server host.
