VMware Horizon View HTTPS and certicate management requirements
VMware Horizon View Client 1.5 and VMware Horizon View Server 5.0 and later require HTTPS. By default, the
VMware Horizon View client warns about untrusted server certicates, such as self-signed (like the VMware
Horizon View Manager default certicate) or expired certicates. If a certicate is signed by a Certicate
Authority (CA) and the CA is untrusted, the connection will return an error and the user will not be allowed to
connect.
HP recommends that a signed certicate veried by a standard trusted root CA be used on the VMware
Horizon View Manager server. This makes sure that users will be able to connect to the server without being
prompted or required to do any conguration. If using an internal CA, the VMware Horizon View client
connection returns an error until you complete one of the following tasks:
●
Use the Certicate Manager to import the certicate from a le or URL.
●
Use a remote prole update to import a certicate.
●
In the VMware Horizon View Connection Manager, set Connection Security Level to Allow all
connections.
The following table describes certicate trust when the security level is set to Refuse insecure connections.
