Connecting via security server using PCOIP

[hpmview]

Hi

when I try wan connection using PCOIP, it lets me authenticate and gives me the option to pick the vm then i just get a blank screen.

it tells it is connected, but i don't see the desktop

Hi,

have you configured your firewall with all ports needed propoerly?

MCP, VCP

Please check your local client resolution setting.After that try with RDP if RDp is working the there is a resolution issue.Also hope you enabled all related port in firewall also.

PCoIP does not work through the Security Server. If you want to use PCoIP over the WAN you have to connect in another way, like (SSL) VPN. If RDP is also enabled on your pool View does fall back to using RDP.

The firewall is pretty much open. what are the ports for PCOIP to work. I will make sure that they are open.

RDP works fine the only Issue is the PCOIP. Is there some resolution settings which you can guide me at, as i am able to connect it without any display. Internally PCOIP works fine.

As been said before in the thread, PCoIP will not work tunneled through the security-server.

For PCoIP to work you need to be provide direct connection between the klient and the vDesktop, and it will not with NAT-devices,

Use a client-VPN to get the traffic into the LAN network or use RDP instead.

Best regards,

Wow...

With all the PCoIP hype, I think this is huge. Has anyone heard of any plans to make PCoIP work via the security server?

[dsgabrie]

I am also reading that PCoIP will not work via the Portal? Should have done my homework. This is not going to work for me outside of the LAN. I'm glad I havn't invested too much. Hopefully this will be fixed in 4.5.

It is well documented that PCoIP will not work over a Security Server.

This should not come as a surprise to anyone as it was clearly laid out to us when we did our evaluation of HyperV / Citrix and VMWare.

We are fortunate in that our Branch Offices are connected through an Edge device back to our Core device via an SSL based VPN - so PCoIP is working for us but it costs you dearly on your bandwidth.

We have been looking at moving back to RDP until such time as the PCoIP packets are optimized for WAN based connectivity - but at this point, we are holding off.

If PCoIP is what you need - consider building an OpenVPN based system and use the SSL based VPN client which is free and fast. A little elbow grease, but you end up with a no cost solution that will give you PCoIP over your WAN link and a solid tunnel.

Cheers!

Yes remember the bandwidth, i did some network sniffer tests and each session was over 1mbps
