The View connection server(s) acts as a broker for client connections. View Connection Servers authenticate users through Windows Active Directory and then assigns a user to the appropriate desktop.  The main functions of a View Connection Server are as follows

  • Authenticating users
  • Entitling users to specific desktops and pools
  • Assigning applications packaged with VMware ThinApp to specific desktops and pools
  • Managing local and remote desktop sessions
  • Establishing secure connections between users and desktops
  • Enabling single sign-on
  • Setting and applying policies

The configuration data is stored in a LDAP directory and is replicated amongst other connection servers.
