This example shows the following settings:
n
The type of edge service being configured (identifier) and enabled (enabled).
Setting identifier to VIEW means that Access Point can communicate with servers that use the View
XML protocol, such as View Connection Server, Horizon Air, and Horizon Air Hybrid-mode. Setting
identifier to webreverseproxy means that you can use the Web Reverse Proxy edge service, a feature
that is available with Access Point 2.6. For example, you would use the Web Reverse Proxy edge service
with VMware Identity Manager.
n
The address of the Horizon server or load balancer (proxyDestinationUrl).
n
The Horizon server's security certificate thumbprint (proxyDestinationUrlThumbprints).
This example also shows the following settings that are specific to the View edge service:
n
Settings for enabling the PCoIP Secure Gateway, the Blast Secure Gateway, and the Secure Tunnel
Gateway.
n
The external URLs for the PCoIP Secure Gateway, the Blast Secure Gateway, and the Secure Tunnel
Gateway.
n
A setting for enabling HTML Access (proxyPattern).
NOTE When you create a JSON request, provide the complete set of properties for that resource. Any
parameter that is not specified in the JSON call is reset to the default value. Alternatively, you can first
retrieve the parameters and then change the JSON string to the new values.

If the password for the admin user is unknown, or if problems prevent you from logging in to the REST API
to reset the password, you can use this procedure to reset the password.
Prerequisites
You must have the password for logging in to the virtual machine as the root user.
Procedure
1 Log in to the operating system of the Access Point appliance as the root user.
2 Enter the following commands:
echo 'adminPassword=P@ssw0rd' > /opt/vmware/gateway/conf/firstboot.properties
chown gateway /opt/vmware/gateway/conf/firstboot.properties
