View Connection Server
One or more tags
One or more tags
The restricted entitlements feature only enforces tag matching. You must design your network topology to
force certain clients to connect through a particular View Connection Server instance.
Considerations and Limitations for Restricted Entitlements
Before implementing restricted entitlements, you must be aware of certain considerations and limitations.
A single View Connection Server instance or desktop pool can have multiple tags.
n
Multiple View Connection Server instances and desktop pools can have the same tag.
n
Desktop pools that do not have any tags can be accessed by any View Connection Server instance.
n
View Connection Server instances that do not have any tags can only access desktop pools that also do
n
not have any tags.
If you use a security server, you must configure restricted entitlements on the View Connection Server
n
instance the security server is paired with. You cannot configure restricted entitlements on a security
server.
You cannot modify or remove a tag from a View Connection Server instance if that tag is still assigned to
n
a desktop pool and no other View Connection Server instances have a matching tag.
Restricted entitlements take precedence over other desktop entitlements. For example, even if a user is
n
entitled to a particular desktop, the user will not be able to access that desktop if the desktop pool's tag
does not match the tag assigned to the View Connection Server instance that the user connected to.
Assign a Tag to a View Connection Server Instance
When you assign a tag to a View Connection Server instance, users who connect to that View Connection
Server can access only those desktop pools that have a matching tag or no tags.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Servers.
2 In View Connection Servers, select the View Connection Server instance and click Edit.
3 Type one or more tags in the Tags text box.
Separate multiple tags with a comma or semicolon.
4 Click OK to save your changes.
What to do next
Assign the tag to desktop pools.
Assign a Tag to a Desktop Pool
When you assign a tag to a desktop pool, only users who connect to a View Connection Server instance that
has a matching tag can access the desktops in that pool.
You can assign a tag when you add or edit a desktop pool.
Prerequisites
Assign tags to one or more View Connection Server instances.
