There are three protocols used by clients for accessing virtual desktops.  Those protocols are:
·         HTTPS – HTTPS (port 443) is used by Horizon clients to handle user authentication and the initial communications with the Connection or Security server.
·         HTTP – HTTP(Port 80) is also used by Horizon clients to handle user authentication and the initial communications with the Connection Server
·         PCoIP – PCoIP (port 4172) is the remote display protocol that is used between the Horizon Client and the remote desktop. 
·         Blast – Blast (port 8443) is the remote display protocol used by HTML5-compatible web browsers.

Display Protocol or Black Screen Error will come when there is firewall issues are there. You can check this by telnet 4172. 

Once you have Verified in client side you able ping connection server IP and FQDN and also able to Telnet Ports 80(http), 443(https), 4172(PCoIP). You need to verify in backend 

Check status in Connection Server Web
Option 1

Protocol Failure
 Check Service VMware Blast is started or not. If it’s not started start service.

If you see Service VMware Blast is started. May be somewhere port is blocking. Do a restart I will resolve this issue.

Option 2


User says not able to connect and in web console you see as connected, some connection conflict is happening.

 When I open Console I do see session as connected from VM console status


So I need to close session from Backend and open it again from Front end.

Right Click on particular desktop and click on Disconnect Session..


 Click ok


Once it’s disconnected, ask user to connect


Connection should establish now, if it’s not working try last option save session Doc and Excel and Logoff or Restart and then check in connection server web status. Once it becomes available ask user to connect. It will work.


Option 3

If you see display Protocol Error in Client and View web console you see


When I open a console I see everything looks fine


Some time with any apps or system Explorer.exe will become non responsive. In this case either you can login via user credentials and open task managers and open New Task

 In Create New Task
Type explorer.exe
Click OK

Lock the screen and ask user to try again. If it’s not working save session Doc and Excel and Logoff or Restart and then check in connection server web status. Once it becomes available ask user to connect. It will work.

Option 4


If user says I don’t have any Document or any other thing that will not impact on reboot, you can do reset from web console or Restart from vSphere Client

Reset from WEb Console Driectly


Restart Guest OS from vCenter
