Security Server network requirements

The following diagram illustrates how the primary protocols used by the Horizon Security Server work with other components of the Horizon infrastructure. The diagram shows the following components of a Horizon infrastructure:

• Communication between the Horizon Security Server and the Horizon Desktop or Application
• Communication between the Horizon Security Server and the Horizon Connection Server

The arrows indicate the direction in which each protocol travels, assuming that the default settings are used.

This list of ports used by the core components is outlined in the following table. Additionally, consult the Firewall Rules for DMS-Based Security Servers in the VMware document View Architecture Planning (http://pubs.vmware.com/horizon-62-view/topic/com.vmware.horizon-view.planning.doc/GUID-B8D3225D-0CB2-42D3-B2B8-EB7DED0F3B5E.html) for additional information concerning the function of each component, and when the associated port is actually required to be opened in the firewall.
