PCoIP Administrator's Guide Table 4-16: Connection Management Page Parameters Parameter Description DNS Name or IP Address Enter the DNS name or IP address of the connection manager. Enable Peer Loss Overlay When enabled, the "Network Connection Lost" overlay appears on the display(s) when a loss of network connectivity is detected. It also appears in the case of a virtual desktop such as VMware View. Normal hypervisor scheduling delays can falsely trigger this message. This option is disabled by default. Note: This option is only available for a zero client. Desktop applications that require the peer loss notification should re-enable the feature through the OSD, Administrative Web Interface, or PCoIP Management Console. Enable Preparing Desktop Overlay When enabled, the "Preparing Desktop" overlay appears on the display(s) when you log in. This option is disabled by default. Note: This overlay provides assurance that login is proceeding if the desktop takes more than a few seconds to appear. Enable Event Log Notification Controls if the host and client devices send the contents of their event logs to the connection management server. Session Negotiation Cipher Configure the Transport Layer Security (TLS) cipher the client will use to negotiate the TLS session between the PCoIP client and the PCoIP host: l TLS 1.0 with RSA keys and AES-256 or AES-128 encryption: This option provides maximum compatibility. l TLS 1.2 with Suite B-compliant 192-bit elliptic curve encryption. This option provides a higher level of security. Enabled Session Ciphers Enable or disable an encryption mode for the host or client. By default, both encryption modes are enabled: l AES-128-GCM: An encryption method implemented in the TERA1x100 processor that allows best performance between hardware endpoints. l Salsa20-256-Round12: A lighter encryption method implemented in firmware that may offer improved performance when connecting to VMware View 4 or later when there is more than about 7 Mbps available on the network. (See TER0904005 Using PCoIP Zero Clients with VMware View for more information.) Note: The enabled encryption mode must match between the host and client for a session to be established. If both modes are enabled, the firmware selects: l Host to client: AES-128-GCM for the PCoIP session l VMware View 4.5 and later to client: SALSA20-256-Round12 for the PCoIP session Disconnect Message This field lets you control what type of messages appear when a TER0606004 Issue 16 83

Table 4-16: Connection Management Page Parameters
Parameter
Description
DNS Name or IP
Address
Enter the DNS name or IP address of the connection manager.
Enable Peer Loss
Overlay
When enabled, the “Network Connection Lost” overlay appears on
the display(s) when a loss of network connectivity is detected. It also
appears in the case of a virtual desktop such as VMware View.
Normal hypervisor scheduling delays can falsely trigger this
message. This option is disabled by default.
Note: This option is only available for a zero client. Desktop
applications that require the peer loss notification should re-enable
the feature through the OSD, Administrative Web Interface, or PCoIP
Management Console.
Enable Preparing
Desktop Overlay
When enabled, the "Preparing Desktop" overlay appears on the
display(s) when you log in. This option is disabled by default.
Note: This overlay provides assurance that login is proceeding if the
desktop takes more than a few seconds to appear.
Enable Event Log
Notification
Controls if the host and client devices send the contents of their event
logs to the connection management server.
Session Negotiation
Cipher
Configure the Transport Layer Security (TLS) cipher the client will
use to negotiate the TLS session between the PCoIP client and the
PCoIP host:
l
TLS 1.0 with RSA keys and AES-256 or AES-128 encryption
:
This option provides maximum compatibility.
l
TLS 1.2 with Suite B-compliant 192-bit elliptic curve
encryption
. This option provides a higher level of security.
Enabled Session
Ciphers
Enable or disable an encryption mode for the host or client. By
default, both encryption modes are enabled:
l
AES-128-GCM
: An encryption method implemented in the
TERA1x100 processor that allows best performance between
hardware endpoints.
l
Salsa20-256-Round12
: A lighter encryption method
implemented in firmware that may offer improved performance
when connecting to VMware View 4 or later when there is more
than about 7 Mbps available on the network. (See
TER0904005
Using PCoIP Zero Clients with VMware View
for more
information.)
Note: The enabled encryption mode must match between the host
and client for a session to be established. If both modes are enabled,
the firmware selects:
l
Host to client: AES-128-GCM for the PCoIP session
l
VMware View 4.5 and later to client: SALSA20-256-Round12 for
the PCoIP session
