The steps and diagram below depict a LoadMaster deployment with VMware View Connection Servers:

  1. The client establishes an SSL connection to the LoadMaster Virtual Service for the VMware View Connection Server pool.
  2. LoadMaster performs SSL decryption and load balances the connection to the most appropriate Connection Server.
    Note: If desired, the LoadMaster can re-encrypt the connection before sending the traffic to the Connection Server.
  3. Authentication, desktop entitlement and desktop selection all take place. Then, PCoIP connections are established directly to the selected View Desktop, bypassing the LoadMaster.
