View Broker and Administration Server
The View Broker component, which is the core of View Connection Server, is responsible for all user interaction
between VMware View clients and View Connection Server. View Broker also includes the Administration
Server that is used by the View Administrator Web client.
View Broker works closely with vCenter Server to provide advanced management of View desktops, including
virtual machine creation and power operations.
View Secure Gateway Server
View Secure Gateway Server is the server-side component for the secure HTTPS connection between VMware
View clients and a security server or View Connection Server instance.
When you configure the tunnel connection for View Connection Server, RDP, USB, and Multimedia
Redirection (MMR) traffic is tunneled through the View Secure Gateway component. When you configure
direct client connections, these protocols connect directly from the client to the View desktop and are not
tunneled through the View Secure Gateway Server component.
N
PCoIP and HP RGS do not use the tunnel connection.
OTE
View Secure Gateway Server is also responsible for forwarding other Web traffic, including user authentication
and desktop selection traffic, from VMware View clients to the View Broker component. View Secure Gateway
Server also passes View Administrator client Web traffic to the Administration Server component.
View LDAP
View LDAP is an embedded LDAP directory in View Connection Server and is the configuration repository
for all VMware View configuration data.
View LDAP contains entries that represent each View desktop, each accessible View desktop, multiple View
desktops that are managed together, and View component configuration settings.
View LDAP also includes a set of View plug-in DLLs to provide automation and notification services for other
VMware View components.
View Messaging
The View Messaging component provides the messaging router for communication between View Connection
Server components and between View Agent and View Connection Server.
This component supports the Java Message Service (JMS) API, which is used for messaging in VMware View.
By default, RSA keys that are used for intercomponent message validation are 512 bits. The RSA key size can
be increased to 1024 bits if you prefer stronger encryption.
If you want all keys to be 1024 bits, the RSA key size must be changed immediately after the first View
Connection Server instance is installed and before additional servers and desktops are created. See VMware
Knowledge Base (KB) article 1024431 for more information.

Port
TCP port 80 or 443
TCP port 4172 from View Client to the View desktop.
PCoIP also uses UDP port 4172 in both directions.
For USB redirection, TCP port 32111 is used alongside PCoIP
from the client to the View desktop.
