6 If your server certificate was signed by an intermediate CA, import all intermediate certificates in the
certificate chain into the Windows local computer certificate store.
a Go to the Certificates (Local Computer) > Intermediate Certification Authorities > Certificates
folder.
b Repeat steps 3 through 6 for each intermediate certificate that must be imported.
What to do next
Configure the appropriate registry key with the certificate thumbprint. See “Set the Certificate Thumbprint
in the Windows Registry,” on page 25.
Set the Certificate Thumbprint in the Windows Registry
To allow the HTML Access Agent to use a CA-signed certificate that was imported into the Windows
certificate store, you must configure the certificate thumbprint in a Windows registry key. You must take
this step on each desktop on which you replace the default certificate with a CA-signed certificate.
Prerequisites
Verify that the CA-signed certificate is imported into the Windows certificate store. See “Import a Certificate
for the HTML Access Agent into the Windows Certificate Store,” on page 23.
Procedure
1 In the MMC window on the Horizon View desktop where the HTML Access Agent is installed,
navigate to the Certificates (Local Computer) > Personal > Certificates folder.
2 Double-click the CA-signed certificate that you imported into the Windows certificate store.
3 In the Certificates dialog box, click the Details tab, scroll down, and select the Thumbprint icon.
4 Copy the selected thumbprint to a text file.
For example: 31 2a 32 50 1a 0b 34 b1 65 46 13 a8 0a 5e f7 43 6e a9 2c 3e
NOTE When you copy the thumbprint, do not to include the leading space. If you inadvertently paste
the leading space with the thumbprint into the registry key (in Step 7), the certificate might not be
configured successfully. This problem can occur even though the leading space is not displayed in the
registry value text box.
5 Start the Windows Registry Editor on the desktop where the HTML Access Agent is installed.
6 Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware Blast\Config registry key.
7 Modify the SslHash value and paste the certificate thumbprint into the text box.
8 Restart the VMware Blast service to make your changes take effect.
In the Windows guest operating system, the service for the HTML Access Agent is called VMware
Blast.
When a user connects to a desktop through HTML Access, the HTML Access Agent presents the CA-signed
certificate to the user's browser.
