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 or IP address, and port
number.
For example: https://view.example.com:443
4 Type the PCoIP Secure Gateway external URL in the PCoIP External URL text box.
Specify the PCoIP external URL as an IP address with the port number 4172. Do not include a protocol
name.
For example: 100.200.300.400:4172
The URL must contain the IP address and port number that a client system can use to reach this security
server. You can type into the text box only if a PCoIP Secure Gateway is installed on the security server.
5 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.
Sizing Windows Server Settings to Support Your Deployment
To support a large deployment of View Manager desktops, you can configure the Windows Server computers
on which you install View Connection Server. On each computer, you can size the ephemeral ports, TCB hash
table, Java Virtual Machine settings, and Windows page-file. These adjustments ensure that the computers
have adequate resources to run correctly with the expected user load.
For hardware and memory requirements for View Connection Server, see “Hardware Requirements for View
Connection Server,” on page 7.
For hardware and memory recommendations for using View Connection Server in a large View deployment,
see "Connection Server Virtual Machine Configuration and Maximums" in the VMware View Architecture
Planning document.
Ephemeral Ports
View Manager uses ephemeral ports to establish TCP connections between View Connection Server and the
View desktops that it administers. To support a large View desktop deployment, you can increase the number
of available ephemeral ports.
An ephemeral port is a short-lived endpoint that is created by the operating system when a program requests
any available user port. The operating system selects the port number from a predefined range, typically
between 1024 and 65535, and releases the port after the related TCP connection terminates.
By default, the system can create a maximum of approximately 4,000 ephemeral ports that run concurrently
on Windows Server 2003 and approximately 16,000 on Windows Server 2008.
On 32-bit Windows Server 2003 computers, you should increase the number of available ephemeral ports if a
View Connection Server instance is likely to use more than 800 concurrent client connections.
