This section describes the changes needed to the VMware View environment before configuring and using the VMware View connector. It is assumed that the VMware View environment is properly configured and working before using the VMware View connector. Refer to the VMware View documentation for details.
The VMware View connector does not support tunneled connections when accessing View desktops. The following steps describe how to disable secure tunnel connections to View desktops through a View Connection Server.
This procedure is based on the VMware View 5.0 release.
Log in to the VMware View Administrator.
From the View Configuration menu in the left-hand navigation pane, click Servers.
From the Servers panel, select the appropriate View Connection Server and click Edit.
From the Edit View Connection Server Settings pop-up screen, deselect Use Secure Tunnel connection to desktop.
Click OK.
If (Secure Sockets Layer) SSL is not required, use the following steps to enable non-SSL connections to the View Connection Server.
This configuration is not possible in VMware View 5.1 or later, because only SSL connections are supported.
This procedure is based on the VMware View 5.0 release.
Log in to the VMware View Administrator.
From the View Configuration menu in the left-hand navigation pane, click Global Settings.
Click Edit.
Deselect Require SSL for client connections and View Administrator in the pop-up screen.
Click OK.
The default SSL certificate created from the VMware View Manager installation must be imported into the Sun Ray server to enable SSL connections to desktops. The following steps assume that you have generated and stored a new certificate on the View Connection Server.
Export the certificate from the keystore on the View Connection Server:
# keytool -export -keystore keys.p12 -storetype pkcs12 -file vmware.cer
Copy the vmware.cer
file to the Sun Ray
server.
Import the certificate into a keystore on the Sun Ray server:
# keytool -import -file vmware.cer -trustcacerts -v -keystore \ /etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/vdm/keystore
Edit the kiosk script
(/etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/vdm/vdm
) and
modify the line that begins with
javaKeyStorePass=
to include the password
for the keystore.
Restart the Sun Ray server via the Admin GUI.
The administrator may choose to import the certificate into
the default keystore of the server's Java installation instead
of following steps 3 and 4. If this is done, the kiosk script
must be modified and all references to
javaKeyStore
and
javaKeyStorePass
should be removed.
