Pool settings
HTML Access requires the following pool settings, in View Administrator:
n
The Max resolution of any one monitor setting must be 1920x1200 or
higher so that the View desktop has at least 17.58MB of video RAM.
n
The HTML Access setting must be enabled.

Connection Server:

HTML Access
Installation instructions are provided in “Install HTML Access Software
on View Connection Server,” on page 20.
When you install HTML Access, the firewall is automatically configured to
allow inbound traffic to TCP port 8443.
Security Server
The Windows Firewall service or other software firewall must be configured
to allow inbound traffic to TCP port 8443.
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 350 simultaneous
connections to Web clients.
Third-party firewalls
Add rules to allow the following traffic:
n
View servers (including security servers, View Connection Server
instances, and replica servers): inbound traffic to TCP port 8443.
n
View desktops: inbound traffic (from View servers) to TCP port 22443.
Display protocol for
Horizon View
Blast
When you use a Web browser to access a View desktop, the Blast protocol is
used rather than PCoIP or Microsoft RDP. Blast uses HTTPS (HTTP over
SSL/TLS).
