Configure Horizon Client for iOS to Trust Root and Intermediate Certificates
If a server certicate is signed by a CA that is not trusted by iPads and iPhones that run Horizon Client for
iOS, you can congure the the device to trust the root and intermediate certicates. You must distribute the
root certicate and all intermediate certicates in the trust chain to the devices
Procedure
1 Send the root certicate and intermediate certicates as email aachments to the iPad.
2 Open the email aachment for the root certicate and select Install.
The certicate displays the following message:
Unverifiable Profile. The authenticity of Certificate name cannot be verified. Installing
this profile will change settings on your iPad.
Root Certificate. Installing the certificate Certificate name will add it to the list of
trusted certificates on your iPad.
3 Select Install again.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all intermediate certicates in the trust chain.
Configuring Certificate Revocation Checking on Server Certificates
Each View Connection Server instance performs certicate revocation checking on its own certicate and on
those of the security servers paired to it. Each instance also checks the certicates of vCenter and View
Composer servers whenever it establishes a connection to them. By default, all certicates in the chain are
checked except the root certicate. You can, however, change this default.
If a SAML 2.0 authenticator is congured for use by a View Connection Server instance, View Connection
Server also performs certicate revocation checking on the SAML 2.0 server certicate.
View supports various means of certicate revocation checking, such as certicate revocation lists (CRLs)
and the Online Certicate Status Protocol (OCSP). A CRL is a list of revoked certicates published by the
CA that issued the certicates. OCSP is a certicate validation protocol that is used to get the revocation
status of an X.509 certicate.
With CRLs, the list of revoked certicates is downloaded from a certicate distribution point (DP) that is
often specied in the certicate. The server periodically goes to the CRL DP URL specied in the certicate,
downloads the list, and checks it to determine whether the server certicate has been revoked. With OCSP,
the server sends a request to an OCSP responder to determine the revocation status of the certicate.
When you obtain a server certicate from a third-party certicate authority (CA), the certicate includes one
or more means by which its revocation status can be determined, including, for example, a CRL DP URL or
the URL for an OCSP responder. If you have your own CA and generate a certicate but do not include
revocation information in the certicate, the certicate revocation check fails. An example of revocation
information for such a certicate could include, for example, a URL to a Web-based CRL DP on a server
where you host a CRL.
If you have your own CA but do not or cannot include certicate revocation information in your certicate,
you can choose not to check certicates for revocation or to check only certain certicates in a chain. On the
server, with the Windows Registry Editor, you can create the string (REG_SZ) value
, under HKLM\Software\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Security, and set this
value to one of the following data values.
