During installation, View services are set up to listen on certain network ports by default. In certain organizations, these ports must be changed to comply with organization policies or to avoid contention. You can change the default ports that are used by Connection Server, security server, PCoIP Secure Gateway, and View Composer services.
Changing ports is an optional setup task. Use the default ports if your deployment does not require you to change them.
For a list of the default TCP and UDP ports that are used by Horizon 7 servers, see the Horizon 7 Security document.
- Replace the Default HTTP Ports or NICs for Horizon Connection Server Instances and Security Servers

The SSL certificate that is used by the View Composer service is bound to a certain port by default. You can replace the default port by using the SviConfig ChangeCertificateBindingPort utility. [Read more] - Change the Port Number for HTTP Redirection to Connection Server
If you replace the default port 443 on a Horizon 7 server, and you want to allow HTTP redirection for Horizon Clients that attempt to connect to port 80, you must configure the locked.properties file on the Horizon 7 server. [Read more] - Prevent HTTP Redirection for Client Connections to Connection Server
Attempts by Horizon Clients to connect to Horizon 7 servers over HTTP are silently redirected to HTTPS. In some deployments, you might want to prevent users from entering http:// in their Web browsers and force them to use HTTPS. To prevent HTTP redirection for Horizon Clients, you must configure the locked.properties file on the Horizon 7 server.
