desktop
If enabled, View Client makes a further secure connection to
the View Connection Server or security server host when
users connect to a View desktop with the PCoIP display
protocol.
If disabled, the desktop session is established directly
between the client system and the View desktop virtual
machine, bypassing the View Connection Server or security
server host.
This setting is disabled by default.

client computers and the datacenter use SSL encryption.
These operations include checking in and checking out
desktops and replicating data from client computers to the
datacenter, but do not include transfers of View Composer
base images.
This setting is disabled by default.
Use SSL when provisioning desktops in Local Mode If enabled, transfers of View Composer base-image files from
