6.1

Procedure
1 In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Servers.
2 Select the Security Servers tab, select the security server, and click Edit.
3 Type the Secure Tunnel external URL in the External URL text box.
The URL must contain the protocol, client-resolvable security server host name and port number.
For example: https://myserver.example.com:443
NOTE You can use the IP address if you have to access a security server when the host name is not
resolvable. However, the host that you contact will not match the SSL certificate that is configured for
the security server, resulting in blocked access or access with reduced security.
4 Type the PCoIP Secure Gateway external URL in the PCoIP External URL text box.
In an IPv4 environment, specify the PCoIP external URL as an IP address with the port number 4172. In
an IPv6 environment, you can specify an IP address or a domain name, and the port number 4172. In
either case, do not include a protocol name.
For example, in an IPv4 environment: 10.20.30.40:4172
Clients must be able to use the URL to reach the security server.
5 Type the Blast Secure Gateway external URL in the Blast External URL text box.
The URL must contain the HTTPS protocol, client-resolvable host name, and port number.
For example: https://myserver.example.com:8443
By default, the URL includes the FQDN of the secure tunnel external URL and the default port number,
8443. The URL must contain the FQDN and port number that a client system can use to reach this
security server.
6 Verify that all addresses in this dialog allow client systems to reach this security server host.
7 Click OK to save your changes.
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.
Give Preference to DNS Names When View Connection Server Returns Address
Information
By default, when sending the addresses of desktop machines and RDS hosts to clients and gateways, View
Connection Server gives preference to IP addresses. You can change this default behavior with a View
LDAP attribute that tells View Connection Server to give preference to DNS names. In certain environments,
having View Connection Server return DNS names to clients and gateways can provide additional flexibility
in designing a network infrastructure.
This View LDAP attribute replaces the per-desktop functionality that was provided by the group policy
setting, Connect using DNS Name, in Horizon 6.0.x and earlier releases.
The View LDAP attribute affects clients that run Horizon Client 3.3 for Windows or later and secure
gateways on View Connection Server instances (not security servers).
