Administration

5 Type the aspnet_regiis command to migrate the RSA key pair data.
aspnet_regiis -pi "SviKeyContainer" "path\keys.xml" -exp
where path is the path to the exported le.
The -exp option creates an exportable key pair. If a future migration is required, the keys can be
exported from this machine and imported to another machine. If you previously migrated the keys to
this machine without using the -exp option, you can import the keys again using the -exp option so that
you can export the keys in the future.
The registration tool imports the key pair data into the local key container.
What to do next
Install the new VMware Horizon View Composer service on the destination machine. Provide the DSN and
ODBC data source information that allows View Composer to connect to the same database information that
was used by the original VMware Horizon View Composer service. For installation instructions, see
"Installing View Composer" in the View Installation document.
Complete the steps to migrate View Composer to a new machine and use the same database. See “Migrate
View Composer with an Existing Database,” on page 141.
Update the Certificates on a View Connection Server Instance,
Security Server, or View Composer
When you receive updated server SSL certicates or intermediate certicates, you import the certicates into
the Windows local computer certicate store on each View Connection Server, security server, or View
Composer host.
Typically, server certicates expire after 12 months. Root and intermediate certicates expire after 5 or 10
years.
For detailed information about importing server and intermediate certicates, see "Congure View
Connection Server, Security Server, or View Composer to Use a New SSL Certicate" in the View Installation
document.
Prerequisites
n
Obtain updated server and intermediate certicates from the CA before the currently valid certicates
expire.
n
Verify that the Certicate snap-in was added to MMC on the Windows Server on which the View
Connection Server instance, security server, or VMware Horizon View Composer service was installed.
Procedure
1 Import the signed SSL server certicate into the Windows local computer certicate store on the
Windows Server host.
a In the Certicate snap-in, import the server certicate into the  (Local Computer) >
Personal >  folder.
b Select Mark this key as exportable.
c Click Next and click Finish.
2 For View Connection Server or security server, delete the certicate Friendly name, vdm, from the old
certicate that was issued to the View server.
a Right-click the old certicate and click Properties
b On the General tab, delete the Friendly name text, vdm.
