Configure Advanced SSL Options
In Horizon View Client 2.3 and later, you can select the security protocols that Horizon View Client can use
to connect to a View server. You can also specify the cipher control string.
IMPORTANT Horizon View Client and View Connection Server support TLS v1.0 and TLS v1.1 by default.
You should change the security protocols in Horizon View Client only if your View administrator instructs
you to do so, or if your View server does not support the latest protocols.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that you have Horizon View Client 2.3 or later.
n
Verify the security protocol that your View server can use. If you configure a security protocol for
Horizon View Client that is not enabled on your View server, the connection fails with an SSL error.
For information about configuring security protocols for View Connection Server, see the VMware Horizon
View Security document.
Procedure
1 Use the Horizon View Client interface tools to display General Settings.
If you are using full-screen mode, tap the Horizon View Client Tools icon and tap the settings icon. If
you are not using full-screen mode, the Settings button is in the upper-right corner of the screen.
2 Tap Advanced SSL Options.
3 Make sure that Use Default Settings is unchecked.
4 To enable or disable a security protocol, tap the check box next to the security protocol name.
TLS v1.0 and TLS v1.1 are enabled by default.
5 To change the cipher control string, tap inside the text box and replace the default string.
The default cipher control string (AES:!aNULL:@STRENGTH) includes cipher suites that use either 128-
bit or 256-bit AES encryption, except for anonymous DH algorithms, and sorts them by strength.
6 (Optional) If you need to revert to the default settings, tap to select the Use Default Settings option.
7 Tap OK to save your changes.
Your changes take effect the next time you connect to a View server.
Supported Desktop Operating Systems
Administrators create virtual machines with a guest operating system and install View Agent in the guest
operating system. End users can log in to these virtual machines from a client device.
For a list of the supported guest operating systems, see the "Supported Operating Systems for View Agent"
topic in the Horizon View 4.6.x or 5.x installation documentation.
