Configuring Security Protocols and Cipher Suites on a View
Connection Server Instance or on a Security Server
You can configure the security protocols and cipher suites that are accepted by View Connection Server
instances. You can define a global acceptance policy that applies to all View Connection Server instances in a
replicated group, or you can define an acceptance policy for individual View Connection Server instances
and security servers
You also can configure the security protocols and cipher suites that View Connection Server instances
propose when connecting to vCenter Server and View Composer. You can define a global proposal policy
that applies to all View Connection Server instances in a replicated group. You cannot define individual
instances to opt out of a global proposal policy.
The default policies and the procedures for configuring policies were changed in View 5.2. For information
about earlier View releases, see VMware Knowledge Base article 1021466 at
