Installation

4 Type the SviConfig ChangeCertificateBindingPort command.
For example:
sviconfig -operation=ChangeCertificateBindingPort
-Port=port number
where -port=port number is the new port to which View Composer binds the certificate. The -
port=port number parameter is required.
5 Restart the View Composer service to make your changes take effect.
What to do next
If necessary, manually reconfigure the Windows firewall on the View Composer server to open the updated
port.
Change the Port Number for HTTP Redirection to Connection Server
If you replace the default port 443 on a View server, and you want to allow HTTP redirection for View
clients that attempt to connect to port 80, you must configure the locked.properties file on the View server.
NOTE This procedure has no effect if you off-load SSL to an intermediate device. With SSL off-loading in
place, the HTTP port on the View server provides service to clients.
Prerequisites
Verify that you changed the default port number from 443. If you use the default values that are configured
during installation, you do not have to perform this procedure to preserve the HTTP redirection rule.
Procedure
1 Create or edit the locked.properties file in the SSL gateway configuration folder on the View
Connection Server or security server computer.
For example: install_directory\VMware\VMware View\Server\sslgateway\conf\locked.properties
The properties in the locked.properties file are case sensitive.
2 Add the following lines to the locked.properties file:
frontMappingHttpDisabled.1=5:*:moved:https::port
frontMappingHttpDisabled.2=3:/error/*:file:docroot
frontMappingHttpDisabled.3=1:/admin*:missing
frontMappingHttpDisabled.4=1:/view-vlsi*:missing
In the preceding lines, the variable port is the port number to which the client should connect.
If you do not add the preceding lines, the port remains 443.
3 Restart the View Connection Server service or security server service to make your changes take effect.
Prevent HTTP Redirection for Client Connections to Connection Server
Attempts by View clients to connect to View 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 View clients, you must configure the locked.properties file
on the View server
NOTE This procedure has no effect if you off-load SSL to an intermediate device. With SSL off-loading in
place, the HTTP port on the View server provides service to clients.
