Horizon View 6.0 handles certificates the same way as Horizon View 5.3. Note: Although a custom template isn’t required, I like to create one per Derek’s instructions so all VMware products are using the same template. Derek Seaman has a good walkthrough on creating a custom VMware certificate template. Once your environment is set up, you will want to create a template for all certificates used by VMware products. This feature does not appear to be supported on vCenter and can cause errors when importing certificates. Note: If you use the walkthrough to set up your PKI environment., you will need to alter the configuration file to remove the AlternateSignatureAlgorithm=1 line. Microsoft has a great 2-Tier PKI walkthrough on TechNet. Prerequisitesīefore you can begin creating certificates for your environment, you will need to have a certificate authority infrastructure set up. If you’re building a test lab or don’t have the budget for a valid certificate, you can use a free certificate authority such as StartSSL. If you are using a security server to provide external access, you will need to acquire a certificate from a public certificate authority. Most of the certificates that you will need for your environment will need to be minted off of an internal certificate authority. In an production environment, you would most likely install the SSL certificates before installing the Horizon View components. If you read my previous series on View 5.3, the post about SSL certificates was the last regular post in the series, and it came after the other components were installed and configured. Improperly configured or maintained certificate authorities can bring an environment to it’s knees – if a connection server cannot verify the authenticity of a certificate – such as an expired revocation list from an offline root CA, it will stop any communications with the impacted host. They’re used to secure communications from client to server as well as between the various servers in the environment. SSL certificates are an important part of all Horizon View environments.
