To set the Blast external URL, verify that the Blast Secure Gateway is enabled on the View Connection
Server instance. See “Configure Secure HTML Access,” on page 105.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, click View Configuration > Servers.
2 Select the Connection Servers tab, 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 and port number.
For example: https://myserver.example.com:443
NOTE You can use the IP address if you have to access a View Connection Server instance when the
host name is not resolvable. However, the host that you contact will not match the SSL certificate that is
configured for the View Connection Server instance, resulting in blocked access or access with reduced
security.
4 Type the PCoIP Secure Gateway external URL in the PCoIP External URL text box.
In an IPv4 environment, specify the PCoIP external URL as an IP address with the port number 4172. In
an IPv6 environment, you can specify an IP address or a fully qualified domain name, and the port
number 4172. In either case, do not include a protocol name.
For example, in an IPv4 environment: 10.20.30.40:4172
Clients must be able to use the URL to reach the security server.
5 Type the Blast Secure Gateway external URL in the Blast External URL text box.
The URL must contain the HTTPS protocol, client-resolvable host name, and port number.
For example: https://myserver.example.com:8443
By default, the URL includes the FQDN of the secure tunnel external URL and the default port number,
8443. The URL must contain the FQDN and port number that a client system can use to reach this View
Connection Server host.
6 Verify that all addresses in this dialog allow client systems to reach this View Connection Server
instance.
7 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 these external URLs when you install a security server in the View Connection Server
installation program.
The secure tunnel external URL, PCoIP external URL, and Blast external URL must be the addresses that
client systems use to reach this security server.
Prerequisites
