4 Restart the View Connection Server service to make your changes take effect.
In a replicated group, you must restart the service on each View Connection Server instance and on each
paired security server.
5 Reconfigure any firewalls and load balancers to permit client connections using the new SSL configuration.
See the VMware View Architecture Planning document for more information.
Configure SSL for View Transfer Server Communications
To configure whether SSL is used for communications and data transfers between client computers that host
local desktops and View Transfer Server, you set View Connection Server settings in View Administrator.
The SSL settings for View Transfer Server communications and data transfers are specific to a single View
Connection Server instance. You might want to enable SSL on an instance that services users that connect from
the Internet, but disable it on an instance that is dedicated to internal users.
SSL is disabled by default for View Transfer Server communications and data transfers.
NOTE These SSL settings do not affect local data, which is always encrypted.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Servers.
2 Select the View Connection Server instance and click Edit.
3 To configure SSL for communications and data transfers between client computers that host local desktops
and View Transfer Server, select or deselect Use SSL for Local Mode operations.
These operations include checking in and checking out desktops and replicating data from client
computers to the datacenter.
4 To configure SSL for transfers of View Composer base-image files from the Transfer Server repository to
client computers that host local desktops, select or deselect Use SSL when provisioning desktops in Local
Mode.
5 Click OK to save your changes.
Your changes take effect immediately. You do not need to restart the View Transfer Server service.
Using Group Policy to Configure Certificate Checking in View Client
You can use security-related group policy settings in the View Client Configuration ADM template file
(vdm_client.adm) to configure server SSL certificate checking in View Client.
ADM template files for View components are installed in the
install_directory
\VMware\VMware
View\Server\Extras\GroupPolicyFiles directory on your View Connection Server host.
See the VMware View Administration document for information on using View Manager group policy settings.
