Configuring View Client Connections

View clients communicate with a View Connection Server or security server host over secure HTTPS
connections.
The initial View Client connection, which is used for user authentication and View desktop selection, is created
when a user provides an IP address to View Client. If firewall and load balancing software are configured
correctly in your network environment, this request reaches the View Connection Server or security server
host.
When users connect to a View desktop with the Microsoft RDP display protocol, View Client makes a second
HTTPS connection to the View Connection Server or security server host. This connection is called the tunnel
connection because it provides a secure tunnel for carrying RDP data.
