Installation

Prerequisites
Verify that the port that is specified in the External URL for this View Connection Server instance or security
server will continue to be valid after you change ports in this procedure.
Procedure
1 Create or edit the locked.properties file in the SSL gateway configuration folder on the View
Connection Server or security server computer.
For example: install_directory\VMware\VMware View\Server\sslgateway\conf\locked.properties
The properties in the locked.properties file are case sensitive.
2 Add the serverPort or serverPortNonSsl property, or both properties, to the locked.properties file.
For example:
serverPort=4443
serverPortNonSsl=8080
3 (Optional) If the server computer has multiple NICs, select one NIC to listen on the configured ports.
Add the serverHost and serverHostNonSsl properties to specify the IP address that is bound to the
designated NIC.
For example:
serverHost=10.20.30.40
serverHostNonSsl=10.20.30.40
Typically, both the SSL and non-SSL listeners are configured to use the same NIC. However, if you use
the serverProtocol=http property to off-load SSL for client connections, you can set the serverHost
property to a separate NIC to provide SSL connections to systems that are used to launch View
Administrator.
If you configure SSL and non-SSL connections to use the same NIC, the SSL and non-SSL ports must
not be the same.
4 Restart the View Connection Server service or security server service to make your changes take effect.
What to do next
If necessary, manually configure your Windows firewall to open the updated ports.
Replace the Default Ports or NICs for the PCoIP Secure Gateway on View
Connection Server Instances and on Security Servers
You can replace the default ports or NICs that are used by a PCoIP Secure Gateway service that runs on a
View Connection Server instance or security server. Your organization might require you to perform these
tasks to comply with organization policies or to avoid contention.
For client-facing TCP and UDP connections, the PCoIP Secure Gateway listens on port 4172 by default. For
UDP connections to remote desktops, the PCoIP Secure Gateway listens on port 55000 by default.
The port that is specified in the PCoIP External URL does not change as a result of changes that you make to
ports in this procedure. Depending on your network configuration, you might have to change the PCoIP
External URL port as well.
If the computer on which the PCoIP Secure Gateway is running has multiple NICs, the computer listens on
all NICs by default. You can select one NIC to listen on the configured ports by specifying the IP address
that is bound to that NIC.
