You configure global settings to determine the way client sessions and connections work.

The global settings are not specific to a single Connection Server instance. They affect all client sessions that are managed by a standalone Connection Server instance or a group of replicated instances.

You can also configure Connection Server instances to use direct, nontunneled connections between Horizon clients and remote desktops. See Configure the Secure Tunnel and PCoIP Secure Gateway for information about configuring direct connections.
