2 Import a Certificate for the HTML Access Agent into the Windows Certificate Store
To replace a default HTML Access Agent certificate with a CA-signed certificate, you must import the
CA-signed certificate into the Windows local computer certificate store. Perform this procedure on
each desktop where the HTML Access Agent is installed.
3 Import Root and Intermediate Certificates for the HTML Access Agent
If the root certificate and intermediate certificates in the certificate chain are not imported with the
SSL certificate that you imported for the HTML Access Agent, you must import these certificates into
the Windows local computer certificate store.
4 Set the Certificate Thumbprint in the Windows Registry
To allow the HTML Access Agent to use a CA-signed certificate that was imported into the Windows
certificate store, you must configure the certificate thumbprint in a Windows registry key. You must
take this step on each desktop on which you replace the default certificate with a CA-signed
certificate.
Add the Certiļ¬cate Snap-In to MMC on a View Desktop
Before you can add certificates to the Windows local computer certificate store, you must add the
Certificate snap-in to the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) on the View desktops where the
HTML Access Agent is installed.
Prerequisites
Verify that the MMC and Certificate snap-in are available on the Windows guest operating system where
the HTML Access Agent is installed.
Procedure
1 On the View desktop, 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 Certificates and click Add.
4 In the Certificates 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 certificate into the Windows local computer certificate store. See Import a Certificate for
the HTML Access Agent into the Windows Certificate Store.
