Disable FileVault

If the FileVault setting is enabled on the PCoIP host Mac, files on the hard drive are encrypted and subsequently, unauthorized access is prevented. The hard drive remains locked every time the PCoIP host Mac is restarted. Until the hard drive is unlocked, client machines cannot establish PCoIP connections with the PCoIP host.

Therefore, to ensure that the FileVault setting does not prevent PCoIP connections, do one of the following:

  • Unlock the hard drive by providing the user password and then allowing the PCoIP host to boot.

  • Disable FileVault from System Preferences > Privacy & Security > FileVault on the PCoIP host Mac.

    Disabling the FileVault setting
