to Select
Enter the pool/desktop name used by the client when starting a session.

Port
By default this field is blank, and port 443 is used to communicate with the View
Connection Server.
If your network is set up to use a non-standard port for secure connections, enter the
port number.
VCS Certificate
Check Mode
Select how the client behaves if it cannot verify a secure connection to the View
Connection Server:
 Never connect to untrusted servers: Configure the client to reject the
connection if a trusted, valid certificate is not installed. (This is the most
secure option.)
 Warn before connecting to untrusted servers: Configure the client to display a
warning if an unsigned or expired certificate is encountered, or if the certificate
is not self-signed and the zero client trust store is empty. (This option is
selected by default.)
 Do not verify server identity certificates: Configure the client to allow all
connections. (This option is not secure.)

address, or whether it appears in a read-only list for the user to select.
 Last servers used: Select this option if you want a list of cached servers that a
user has typed in to appear in the Server drop-down menu on the OSD
Connect page.
 Read-only: Select this option if you want users to select a View Connection
Server from a read-only list.
Note: You can use the PCoIP Management Console to pre-populate the list of available
connection servers.
