Depending on the performance, availability, and security needs of your Horizon 7 deployment, you can install a single instance of Connection Server, replicated instances of Connection Server, and security servers. You must install at least one instance of Connection Server.
When you install Connection Server, you select a type of installation.
- Standard installation
- Generates a Connection Server instance with a new View LDAP configuration.
- Replica installation
- Generates a Connection Server instance with a View LDAP configuration that is copied from an existing instance.
- Security server installation
- Generates a Connection Server instance that adds an additional layer of security between the Internet and your internal network.
- Enrollment Server installation
-
Installs an enrollment server that is required for the True SSO (single sign-on) feature, so that after users log in to VMware Identity Manager, they can connect to a remote desktop or application without having to provide Active Directory credentials. The enrollment server requests the short-lived certificates that are used for authentication.
Note: Because this feature requires that a certificate authority also be set up, and specific configuration performed, the installation procedure for the enrollment server is provided in the Horizon 7 Administration document, in the chapter "Authenticating Users Without Requiring Credentials," rather than in this installation document.
