screen. Turn o the Set Time Zone Automatically option and select one of the time zones from the

The remote desktop or application is displayed in your browser. A navigation sidebar is also available.
You can click the tab at the left side of the browser window to display the sidebar. You can use the
sidebar to access other remote desktops or applications, display the Seings window, copy and paste
text, and more.
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 certicate, you can select whether to trust the certicate. See “Trust a Self-
Signed Root Certicate,” on page 30.
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 certicate used by the remote machine. You must trust the certicate
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 certicate. If you do not choose
to permanently trust the certicate, you must verify the certicate every time you restart your browser. If
you are using a Safari browser, you must permanently trust the security certicate in order to establish the
connection.
Procedure
1 If your browser presents an untrusted certicate warning or a warning that your connection is not
private, examine the certicate to verify that it matches the certicate 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.
c Verify that the certicate matches the certicate that is used by your company.
You might need to contact your View administrator for assistance.
