What to do next
If, soon after connecting to a desktop or application, you get disconnected and see a prompt asking you to
click a link to accept the security certicate, you can select whether to trust the certicate. See “Trust a Self-
Signed Root Certicate,” on page 28.
Trust a Self-Signed Root Certificate
In some cases, when connecting to a remote desktop or application for the rst time, you might be prompted
by the browser to accept the self-signed certicate used by the remote machine. You must trust the certicate
before the connection can be made to the remote desktop or application.
Most browsers will give you the option to permanently trust the self-signed certicate. If you do not choose
to permanently trust the certicate, you must verify the certicate every time you restart your browser. If
you are using a Safari browser, you must permanently trust the security certicate in order to establish the
connection.
Procedure
1 If your browser presents an untrusted certicate warning or a warning that your connection is not
private, examine the certicate to verify that it matches the certicate that is used by your company.
You might need to contact your View administrator for assistance. For example, in a Chrome browser,
you might use the following procedure.
a Click the lock icon in the address bar.
b Click the  information link.
