3 Accept the VMware license terms.
4 Accept or change the destination folder.
5 Select the View Security Server installation option.
6 Type the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the View Connection Server instance to pair with
the security server in the Server text box.
The security server forwards network traffic to this View Connection Server instance.
7 Type the security server pairing password in the Password text box.
If the password has expired, you can use View Administrator to configure a new password and type the
new password in the installation program.
8 In the External URL text box, type the external URL of the security server for View Clients that use the
RDP or PCoIP display protocols.
The URL must contain the protocol, client-resolvable security server name or IP address, and port number.
Tunnel clients that run outside of your network use this URL to connect to the security server.
For example: https://view.example.com:443
9 In the PCoIP External URL text box, type the external URL of the security server for View Clients that use
the PCoIP display protocol.
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 the security
server. You can type into the text box only if a PCoIP Secure Gateway is installed on the security server.
10 If you install the security server on Windows Server 2008, choose how to configure the Windows Firewall
service.
Option Action
Configure Windows Firewall
automatically
Let the installer configure Windows Firewall to allow the required network
connections.
Do not configure Windows Firewall
Configure the Windows firewall rules manually.
If you install the security server on Windows Server 2003 R2, you must configure the required Windows
firewall rules manually.
11 Complete the installation wizard to finish installing the security server.
The security server services are installed on the Windows Server computer:
