4 If the SSL certificate that is issued for the vCenter Lookup Service is not trusted by the View Connection
Server computer, accept the certificate thumbprint.
The following error message is displayed:
Error: The security certificate presented by this Lookup Service was not
issued by a trusted certificate authority. The thumbprint of the certificate is
thumbprint.
Return code: -1
Accept the thumbprint by using the -lt option and copying the thumbprint. You can copy the
thumbprint that is displayed in the error message and paste it into the command line.
For example:
regtool.cmd configureLookupService -u view-admin@domain -ld https://lookup-server:
7444/lookupservice/sdk -lt thumbprint
The thumbprint might look like this: 31:2A:32:50:1A:0B:34:B1:65:46:13:A8:0A:5E:F7:43:6E:A9:2C:3E
5 At the prompt, type the View Administrators user password.
A return code of 0 indicates that the configuration was successful.
NOTE When you type the password, the following warning message might appear. You can ignore this
message:
log4j: WARN No appenders could be found for logger
<com.vmware.vim.vmomi.core.types.impl.VmodlContextImpl>.
log4j: WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
What to do next
Register the View Desktops plug-in.
Register the View Desktops Plug-in
You must register the View Desktops plug-in with the vCenter Single-Sign On Service and vCenter Lookup
Service.
You must register the View Desktops plug-in on each View Connection Server instance in a replicated
group. Repeat this procedure on each View Connection Server computer.
NOTE The regtool.cmd register commands in this procedure assume that your View Connection Server
service uses the default port, 443. If you change the default View Connection Server port, use the -p port-
number option with the regtool.cmd register command to specify the custom port number.
Prerequisites
Verify that the vCenter Lookup Service is configured for the View Desktops plug-in. See “Configure View to
Recognize the vCenter Lookup Service,” on page 117.
Procedure
1 On the View Connection Server computer, navigate to the regtool.cmd utility, located in the following
directory:
install_directory\VMware\VMware View\Server\TechPreview\ViewAdminPlugin
2 Register the View Desktops plug-in.
For example: regtool.cmd register -u view-admin@domain -lu sso-admin@domain
view-admin@domain is the username and domain of a user with the View Administrators role.
