The process of configuring the external URLs is different for View Connection Server instances and security
servers.
n
For a View Connection Server instance, you set the external URLs by editing View Connection Server
settings in View Administrator.
n
For a security server, you set the external URLs when you run the View Connection Server installation
program. You can use View Administrator to modify an external URL for a security server.
Set the External URLs for a View Connection Server Instance
You use View Administrator to configure the external URLs for a View Connection Server instance.
Both the secure tunnel external URL and PCoIP external URL must be the addresses that client systems use to
reach this View Connection Server instance. For example, do not specify the secure tunnel external URL for
this instance and the PCoIP external URL for a paired security server.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, click View Configuration > Servers.
2 In the View Connection Servers panel, select a View Connection Server instance and click Edit.
3 Type the secure tunnel external URL in the External URL text box.
The URL must contain the protocol, client-resolvable 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 View
Connection Server host. You can type into the text box only if a PCoIP Secure Gateway is installed on the
View Connection Server instance.
5 Click OK.
Modify the External URLs for a Security Server
You use View Administrator to modify the external URLs for a security server.
You initially configure the external URLs for a security server in the View Connection Server installation
program.
Both the secure tunnel external URL and PCoIP external URL must be the addresses that client systems use to
reach this security server. For example, do not specify the secure tunnel external URL for this security server
and the PCoIP external URL for a paired View Connection Server instance.
Prerequisites
Verify that the version of the security server is View Connection Server 4.6 or later.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Servers.
2 In the Security Servers panel, select the security server and click Edit.
The Edit button is unavailable if the security server is not upgraded to View Connection Server 4.6 or later.
