View 4.6 Firewall Ports

[mtaipan]

Hello,

I've been tasked with starting the design of a View implementation for some of our remote users. I've read through the View 4.6 Architecture Planning document and am not totally clear on some of the port requirements.

Our implementation will use both PCoIP and RDP for the end-users who will be accessing via regular PCs. There will be no USB redirection or local-mode involved.

Basic Setup:

End User

------

External Firewall

____

View Secure Gateway Server

____

Internal Firewall

-------

View Connection Server

External firewall ports open:

443

4172

Internal firewall ports open:

443

8009

4001

3389

4172

Connection Server ports open

443

8009

4001

4100

443

4172

18443

389

636

In the case of the RDP users, I assume that all the data flow for their View session from the External Firewall to their End-User-Device will flow over 443?

In the case of the PCoIP users, what is 443 used for?

Would someone please verify the port list? I think it's right but I want to make sure before I go through the process of requesting the ports be opened since that takes rather long.

Thanks in advance!

Have a look at this page: Firewall Settings for VMware View at thatsmyview.net. It's incredibly detailed.

Authentication and authorization is performed over port 443. Port 4172 handles the PCoIP data transmission.

Welcome to the forums.  In additon to the link already supplied please check out this document,http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-14974, prepared by Mark Benson.   It's a great document for setting up PCOIP for use outside of the office.

Wow, thanks for the really quick replies! So, it looks like my firewall requirements are right. Agreed?
