Specifications

View LDAP
View LDAP is an embedded LDAP directory in View Connection Server and is the configuration repository
for all VMware View configuration data.
View LDAP contains entries that represent each View desktop, each accessible View desktop, multiple View
desktops that are managed together, and View component configuration settings.
View LDAP also includes a set of View plug-in DLLs to provide automation and notification services for other
VMware View components.
View Messaging
The View Messaging component provides the messaging router for communication between View Connection
Server components and between View Agent and View Connection Server.
This component supports the Java Message Service (JMS) API, which is used for messaging in VMware View.
By default, RSA keys that are used for intercomponent message validation are 512 bits. The RSA key size can
be increased to 1024 bits if you prefer stronger encryption.
If you want all keys to be 1024 bits, the RSA key size must be changed immediately after the first View
Connection Server instance is installed and before additional servers and desktops are created. See VMware
Knowledge Base (KB) article 1024431 for more information.
Firewall Rules for View Connection Server
Certain ports must be opened on the firewall for View Connection Server instances and security servers.
When you install View Connection Server on Windows Server 2008, the installation program can optionally
configure the required Windows firewall rules for you. When you install View Connection Server on Windows
Server 2003, you must configure the required Windows firewall rules manually.
