3 Verify that the value of the SSLCertPsgSni setting matches the server name in the URL that scanners
will use to connect to the PSG and matches the subject name or a subject alternate name of the SSL
certificate that you intend to install for the PSG.
If the value does not match, replace it with the correct value.
4 Restart the VMware View PCoIP Secure Gateway service to make your changes take effect.
What to do next
Import the CA-signed certificate into the Windows local computer certificate store and configure the
certificate Firendly name.
Configure a PSG Certificate in the Windows Certificate Store
To replace the default PSG certificate with a CA-signed certificate, you must configure the certificate and its
private key in the Windows local computer certificate store on the View Connection Server or security
server computer on which the PSG is running.
If you intend the PSG to use a unique certificate, you must import the certificate into the Windows local
computer certificate store with an exportable private key and set the appropriate Friendly name.
If you intend the PSG to use the same certificate as the View server, you do not have to follow this
procedure. However, in the Windows registry you must set the server name to match the View server
certificate subject name and set the Friendly name to vdm.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the key length is at least 1024 bits.
n
Verify that the SSL certificate is valid. The current time on the View server computer must be within the
certificate start and end dates.
n
Verify that the certificate subject name or a subject alternate name matches the SSLCertPsgSni setting in
the Windows registry. See “Verify That the Server Name Matches the PSG Certificate Subject Name,”
on page 84.
n
Verify that the Certificate snap-in was added to MMC. See “Add the Certificate Snap-In to MMC,” on
page 76.
n
Familiarize yourself with importing a certificate into the Windows certificate store. See “Import a
Signed Server Certificate into a Windows Certificate Store,” on page 76.
n
Familiarize yourself with modifying the certificate Friendly name. See “Modify the Certificate Friendly
Name,” on page 77.
Procedure
1 In the MMC window on the Windows Server host, open the Certificates (Local Computer) > Personal
folder.
2 Import the SSL certificate that is issued to the PSG by selecting More Actions > All Tasks > Import.
Select the following settings in the Certificate Import wizard:
a Mark this key as exportable
b Include all extendable properties
Complete the wizard to finish importing the certificate into the Personal folder
