What to do next
If necessary, manually configure your Windows firewall to open the updated ports.
Replace the Default Ports or NICs for the PCoIP Secure Gateway on View
Connection Server Instances and on Security Servers
You can replace the default ports or NICs that are used by a PCoIP Secure Gateway service that runs on a
View Connection Server instance or security server. Your organization might require you to perform these
tasks to comply with organization policies or to avoid contention.
For client-facing TCP and UDP connections, the PCoIP Secure Gateway listens on port 4172 by default. For
UDP connections to remote desktops, the PCoIP Secure Gateway listens on port 55000 by default.
The port that is specified in the PCoIP 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 PCoIP
External URL port as well.
If the computer on which the PCoIP Secure Gateway is running has multiple NICs, the computer listens on
all NICs by default. You can select one NIC to listen on the configured ports by specifying the IP address
that is bound to that NIC.
Prerequisites
Verify that the port that is specified in the PCoIP External URL on the View Connection Server instance or
security server will continue to be valid after you change ports in this procedure.
Procedure
1 Start the Windows Registry Editor on the View Connection Server or security server computer where
the PCoIP Secure Gateway is running.
2 Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Teradici\SecurityGateway registry key.
3 Under this registry key, add one or more of the following String (REG_SZ) values with your updated port
numbers.
For example:
ExternalTCPPort "44172"
ExternalUDPPort "44172"
InternalUDPPort "55111"
4 (Optional) If the computer on which the PCoIP Secure Gateway is running has multiple NICs, select
one NIC to listen on the configured ports.
Under the same registry key, add the following String (REG_SZ) values to specify the IP address that is
bound to the designated NIC.
For example:
ExternalBindIP "10.20.30.40"
InternalBindIP "172.16.17.18"
If you configure external and internal connections to use the same NIC, the external and internal UDP
ports must not be the same.
5 Restart the VMware Horizon View PCoIP Secure Gateway service to make your changes take effect.
