3 Modify the Certicate Friendly Name on page 85
To congure a View Connection Server instance or security server to recognize and use an SSL
certicate, you must modify the certicate Friendly name to vdm.
4 Import a Root Certicate and Intermediate Certicates into a Windows Certicate Store on page 86
If the Windows Server host on which View Connection Server is installed does not trust the root
certicate for the signed SSL server certicate, you must import the root certicate into the Windows
local computer certicate store. In addition, if the View Connection Server host does not trust the root
certicates of the SSL server certicates congured for security server, View Composer, and vCenter
Server hosts, you also must import those root certicates.
5 Bind a New SSL Certicate to the Port Used by View Composer on page 87
If you congure a new SSL certicate after you install View Composer, you must run the SviConfig
ReplaceCertificate utility to replace the certicate that is bound to the port used by View Composer.
This utility unbinds the existing certicate and binds the new certicate to the port.
Add the Certificate Snap-In to MMC
Before you can add certicates to the Windows Certicate Store, you must add the Certicate snap-in to the
Microsoft Management Console (MMC) on the Windows Server host on which the View server is installed.
Prerequisites
Verify that the MMC and Certicate snap-in are available on the Windows Server computer on which the
View server is installed.
Procedure
1 On the Windows Server computer, click Start and type mmc.exe.
2 In the MMC window, go to File > Add/Remove Snap-in.
3 In the Add or Remove Snap-ins window, select and click Add.
4 In the Certicates snap-in window, select Computer account, click Next, select Local computer, and
click Finish.
5 In the Add or Remove snap-in window, click OK.
What to do next
Import the SSL server certicate into the Windows Certicate Store.
Import a Signed Server Certificate into a Windows Certificate Store
You must import the SSL server certicate into the Windows local computer certicate store on the
Windows Server host on which the View Connection Server instance or security server service is installed.
You also must perform this task on the Windows Server host where the View Composer service is installed.
Depending on your certicate le format, the entire certicate chain that is contained in the keystore le
might be imported into the Windows local computer certicate store. For example, the server certicate,
intermediate certicate, and root certicate might be imported.
For other types of certicate les, only the server certicate is imported into the Windows local computer
certicate store. In this case, you must take separate steps to import the root certicate and any intermediate
certicates in the certicate chain.
