in Horizon Administrator.Setting | Description |
---|---|
Use PCoIP Secure Gateway for PCoIP connections to machine | Determines whether Horizon Client makes a further secure connection to the Connection Server or security server host when users connect to Horizon 7 desktops and applications with the PCoIP display protocol. If this setting is disabled, the desktop or application session is established directly between the client and the Horizon 7 desktop or the Remote Desktop Services (RDS) host, bypassing the Connection Server or security server host. This setting is disabled by default. |
Use Secure Tunnel connection to machine | Determines whether Horizon Client makes a further HTTPS connection to the Connection Server or security server host when users connect to an Horizon 7 desktop or an application. If this setting is disabled, the desktop or application session is established directly between the client and the Horizon 7 desktop or the Remote Desktop Services (RDS) host, bypassing the Connection Server or security server host. This setting is enabled by default. |
Use Blast Secure Gateway for Blast connections to machine | Determines whether clients that use a Web browser or the Blast Extreme display protocol to access desktops use Blast Secure Gateway to establish a secure tunnel to Connection Server. If not enabled, clients using a Blast Extreme session and Web browsers make direct connections to Horizon 7 desktops, bypassing Connection Server. This setting is disabled by default. |
