If the View Composer instance is configured with a default certificate, you must first determine
whether to accept the thumbprint of the existing certificate. See Accept the Thumbprint of a Default
SSL Certificate.
Configure View Composer Domains
You must configure an Active Directory domain in which View Composer deploys linked-clone desktops.
You can configure multiple domains for View Composer. After you first add vCenter Server and View
Composer settings to View, you can add more View Composer domains by editing the vCenter Server
instance in Horizon Administrator.
Prerequisites

Your Active Directory administrator must create a View Composer user for AD operations. This
domain user must have permission to add and remove virtual machines from the Active Directory
domain that contains your linked clones. For information about the required permissions for this user,
see Create a User Account for View Composer AD Operations.

In Horizon Administrator, verify that you completed the vCenter Server Information and View
Composer Settings pages in the Add vCenter Server wizard.
