We know that the VMware Horizon server is a virtual desktop infrastructure platform that is used to create a virtual desktop for the user. To access this virtual desktop we can use our web browser or we can use the horizon client program. To grant access these virtual desktops, VMware uses two gateway protocols. The first one is "Blast" protocol and the second one is "PCoIP" protocol. The "Blast" secure gateway protocol is the VMware proprietary protocol. On the other hand, the "PCoIP" secure gateway is the open standard protocol.
By default, the "Blast" secure gateway is enabled in the horizon server and the "PCoIP" secure gateway is disabled.
In this tutorial, we are going to learn that how to enable the "PCoIP" secure gateway in the VMware Horizon Server.
Let's start. After login into your router, expand the "Settings" menu from the left panel and click on the "Servers" option.
Now navigate to the "Connection Servers" tab and select your "Horizon Server" name from the list. After that, click on the "Edit" button.
In the "General" tab, you will find the option to enable the PCoIP secure gateway. There is a check button available named "Use PCoIP Secure Gateway for PCoIP connections to machine" under the "PCoIP Secure Gateway" section. Just put the tick mark on that check box and then PCoIP gateway will be enabled.
That's it. Now just restart your horizon server service to take this effect. To restart the service just disable and then enable the server from the "Connection Servers" list.
Done. Please don't forget to open that port into the firewall.
