Post-Upgrade Tasks to Enable New
Features in Your View Setup 8
After you finish upgrading the servers, virtual machines, and agent software for desktop and application
pools, you can configure your setup to take advantage of certain new features.
In addition to the tasks described in the topics in this chapter, if applicable, you can use View Administrator
to edit advanced storage options for desktop pools, and change the scope of transparent page sharing. By
default, as a security precaution, memory sharing is not allowed among virtual machines on an ESXi host.
For more information, see the topic called "Modifying Settings in an Existing Desktop Pool" in the View
Administration document.
This chapter includes the following topics:

Change the JMS Message Security Mode to Enhanced
Enhanced message security mode is a Horizon 6 version 6.1 feature. When you upgrade, the existing setting
used for the previous version is retained. You can use View Administrator to change the setting to
Enhanced.
This topic describes how to use View Administrator to change the message security mode to Enhanced and
monitor the progress of the change on all View components. You can alternatively use the vdmutil
command-line utility to change the mode and monitor progress. See the View Administration document.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have upgraded all View Connection Server instances, security servers, and View desktops to
Horizon 6 version 6.1 or a later release. View components that predate Horizon 6 version 6.1 cannot
communicate with a View Connection Server 6.1 instance that uses Enhanced mode.
Procedure
1 Configure back-end firewall rules to allow security servers to send JMS traffic on port 4002 to View
Connection Server instances.
2 In View Administrator, go to View Configuration > Global Settings, and on the Security tab, set
Message security mode to Enhanced.
