VMware Horizon View HTTPS and certificate management requirements VMware Horizon View Client 1.5 and VMware Horizon View Server 5.0 and later require HTTPS. By default, the VMware Horizon View client warns about untrusted server certificates, such as self-signed (like the VMware Horizon View Manager default certificate) or expired certificates. If a certificate is signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) and the CA is untrusted, the connection will return an error and the user will not be allowed to connect. HP recommends that a signed certificate verified by a standard trusted root CA be used on the VMware Horizon View Manager server. This makes sure that users will be able to connect to the server without being prompted or required to do any configuration. If using an internal CA, the VMware Horizon View client connection returns an error until you complete one of the following tasks: ● Use the Certificate Manager to import the certificate from a file or URL. ● Use a remote profile update to import a certificate. ● In the VMware Horizon View Connection Manager, set Connection Security Level to Allow all connections. The following table describes certificate trust when the security level is set to Refuse insecure connections.
