Type of encryption used

Does anyone know what type of encryption is used for traffic between client, connection server, and desktop source (VM)? Thanks.

Hi,

HTTPS (SSL) is used between the View Client and View Connection Server (or Security Server). This is consistent with HTTPS from a browser to a secure web site.

RDP is encapsulated within this HTTPS tunnel. Between View Connection Server (or Security Server) and the virtual desktop VM it is RDP.

The diagrams on pages 21 and 25 here should help.https://www.vmware.com/pdf/viewmanager_intro.pdf

Mark.
