Firewall Rules for View Connection Server
Certain incoming TCP ports must be opened on the firewall for View Connection Server instances and security
servers.
When you install View Connection Server on Windows Server 2008, the installation program can optionally
configure the required Windows firewall rules for you. When you install View Connection Server on Windows
Server 2003, you must configure the required Windows firewall rules manually.

Install a Replicated Instance of View Connection Server
To provide high availability and load balancing, you can install one or more additional instances of View
Connection Server that replicate an existing View Connection Server instance. After a replica installation, the
existing and newly installed instances of View Connection Server are identical.
When you install a replicated instance, View Manager copies the View LDAP configuration data from the
existing View Connection Server instance.
After the installation, the View Manager software maintains identical View LDAP configuration data on all
View Connection Server instances in the replicated group. When a change is made on one instance, the updated
information is copied to the other instances.
If a replicated instance fails, the other instances in the group continue to operate. When the failed instance
resumes activity, its configuration is updated with the changes that took place during the outage.
N Replication functionality is provided by View LDAP, which uses the same replication technology as
OTE
Active Directory.
Prerequisites
Verify that at least one View Connection Server instance is installed and configured on the network.
n
Verify that you can log in as a domain user with administrator privileges on the Windows Server computer
n
on which you plan to install the replicated instance.
If the existing View Connection Server instance is in a different domain than the replicated instance, the
n
domain user must also have local administrator privileges on the Windows Server computer where the
existing instance is installed.
Verify that your installation satisfies the requirements described in
n
Requirements,"
Verify that the computers on which you install replicated View Connection Server instances are connected
n
over a high-performance LAN. See
