Prerequisites
Verify that the port that is specified in the PCoIP External URL on the View Connection Server instance or
security server will continue to be valid after you change ports in this procedure.
Procedure
1 Start the Windows Registry Editor on the View Connection Server or security server computer where
the PCoIP Secure Gateway is running.
2 Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Teradici\SecurityGateway registry key.
3 Under this registry key, add one or more of the following String (REG_SZ) values with your updated port
numbers.
For example:
ExternalTCPPort "44172"
ExternalUDPPort "44172"
InternalUDPPort "55111"
4 (Optional) If the computer on which the PCoIP Secure Gateway is running has multiple NICs, select
one NIC to listen on the configured ports.
Under the same registry key, add the following String (REG_SZ) values to specify the IP address that is
bound to the designated NIC.
For example:
ExternalBindIP "10.20.30.40"
InternalBindIP "172.16.17.18"
If you configure external and internal connections to use the same NIC, the external and internal UDP
ports must not be the same.
5 Restart the VMware Horizon View PCoIP Secure Gateway service to make your changes take effect.
Replace the Default Port for View Composer
The SSL certificate that is used by the View Composer service is bound to a certain port by default. You can
replace the default port by using the SviConfig ChangeCertificateBindingPort utility.
When you specify a new port with the SviConfig ChangeCertificateBindingPort utility, the utility unbinds
the View Composer certificate from the current port and binds it to the new port.
During installation, View Composer configures the Windows firewall to open the required default port. If
you change the port, you must manually reconfigure your Windows firewall to open the updated port and
ensure connectivity to the View Composer service.
Prerequisites
Verify that the port you specify is available.
Procedure
1 Stop the View Composer service.
2 Open a command prompt on the Windows Server host where View Composer is installed.
3 Navigate to the SviConfig executable file.
The file is located with the View Composer application. The default path is C:\Program Files
(x86)\VMware\VMware View Composer\sviconfig.exe.
