Configure a Security Server Pairing Password
Before you can install a security server, you must configure a security server pairing password. When you
install a security server with the View Connection Server installation program, the program prompts you for
this password during the installation process.
The security server pairing password is a one-time password that permits a security server to be paired with
a View Connection Server instance. The password becomes invalid after you provide it to the View
Connection Server installation program.
NOTE You cannot pair an older version of security server with the current version of View Connection
Server. If you configure a pairing password on the current version of View Connecton Server and try to
install an older version of security server, the pairing password will be invalid.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Servers.
2 In the Connection Servers tab, select the View Connection Server instance to pair with the security
server.
3 From the More Commands drop-down menu, select Specify Security Server Pairing Password.
4 Type the password in the Pairing password and Confirm password text boxes and specify a password
timeout value.
You must use the password within the specified timeout period.
5 Click OK to configure the password.
What to do next
Install a security server. See “Install a Security Server,” on page 58.
IMPORTANT If you do not provide the security server pairing password to the View Connection Server
installation program within the password timeout period, the password becomes invalid and you must
configure a new password.
Install a Security Server
A security server is an instance of View Connection Server that adds an additional layer of security between
the Internet and your internal network. You can install one or more security servers to be connected to a
View Connection Server instance.
The security server software cannot coexist on the same virtual or physical machine with any other View
software component, including a replica server, View Connection Server, View Composer, View Agent, or
Horizon Client.
Prerequisites
n
Determine the type of topology to use. For example, determine which load balancing solution to use.
Decide if the View Connection Server instances that are paired with security servers will be dedicated
to users of the external network. For information, see the View Architecture Planning document.
IMPORTANT If you use a load balancer, it must have an IP address that does not change. In an IPv4
environment, configure a static IP address. In an IPv6 environment, machines automatically get IP
addresses that do not change.
n
Verify that your installation satisfies the requirements described in “View Connection Server
Requirements,” on page 7.
