A simple View environment consists of a Security server and a Connection server which authenticate and connect remote users to the virtual desktop/application environment. These servers act together and are deployed in 1:1 pairs. From a LoadMaster point of view, all connections are with the security server. The initial connection is made over HTTPS and once authenticated, the security server provides the client with connection details (URL for web connections and an IP address for PCoIP). The client then establishes a connection to the services on the URL/IP address provided in the authentication reply.

Only the initial (HTTPS) connection needs to be load-balanced as there is a 1:1 mapping between the URL/IP address provided and the security/connection server pair that will service the client session.
