Configuring iOS to Use CA-Signed Certificates
To use HTML Access on iOS devices, you need to install SSL certificates that are signed by a Certificate
Authority (CA) instead of the default SSL certificates that are generated by the View Connection Server or
the HTML Access Agent.
For instructions, see "Configure Horizon Client for iOS to Trust Root and Intermediate Certificates" in the
View Installation document.
Upgrading the HTML Access Software
For most versions of HTML Access, upgrading involves simply upgrading Connection Servers and View
Agent.
When you upgrade HTML Access, make sure that the corresponding version of View Connection Server
is installed on all the instances in a replicated group.
When you upgrade Connection Server, HTML Access is automatically installed or upgraded.
Note To check whether the HTML Access component is installed, you can open the Uninstall a Program
applet in the Windows operating system and look for HTML Access in the list.
Uninstall HTML Access from View Connection Server
You can remove HTML Access by using the same method you use to remove other Windows software.
Procedure
1 On the View Connection Server hosts where HTML Access is installed, open the Uninstall a Program
applet provided by the Windows Control Panel.
2 Select the program VMware Horizon 7 HTML Access and click Uninstall.
3 (Optional) In the Windows Firewall for that host, verify that TCP port 8443 no longer allows inbound
traffic.
What to do next
Disallow inbound traffic to TCP port 8443 on the Windows Firewall of any paired security servers. If
applicable, on third-party firewalls, change the rules to disallow inbound traffic to TCP port 8443 for all
paired security servers and this View Connection Server host.
