• Completely remove sdconf.rec connection server VMware view Horizon 6

  Greetings,

  I want to completely remove the sdconf.rec file downloaded from my connection to the server VMWare View Horizon 6.0.1. In previous versions, it was that I had to delete the Sdconf.Rec of C:\Windows\System32 and set the attribute to EAP-SecureIDConf under CN = < servername >, OU = server, OU = propriΘtΘs, DC = vdi, DC = VMWare, DC = int '0' but this attribute does not exist in version 6!

  Just deleting the Sdconf.REC file does not work, after doing that (even after a reboot) it always says "a Sdconf.REC file has been downloaded" when I check the settings of the connection to the server.

  Does anyone know how to delete this file in version 6? I'm this close just removed the server connection and security together and do a complete reinstall.

  Thanks in advance!

  Haha, Yes, it seems I was typing the variable wrong, changing the attribute now works, but I still see "an sdconf.rec file is already downloaded" even after change to the attribute and remove the sdconf.rec file in system32, even after a reboot of the connection to the server.

  This should be OK. What you did is invalidated the sdconf.rec file. It probably will always exist, but watch to see if it has been invalidated. that is, it should now be much smaller than your original and so not usable, which I think is what you wanted to achieve.

  If you want to just disable the RSA SecurID authentication, which can be made in view administrator.

  Please confirm.

• Connections external vmware view 4.5

  External connections disconnect after 10-15 seconds.

  I have a server configuration of security for users of the internet.

  I checked the ports 80 and 443 are open on the firewall.

  I can actually connect using pcoip customer, select the pool that I want to connect.

  I hit connect, and looks like it will work and see a black box, then it disconnects in the error box: "the connection to the remote computer is over."

  Everything works internally, I can connect via the server security or the connection to the server without any problem.

  I read the other post of the users who have had the same problem, and one of the solutions is to direct connections not, but I can't this setting around vmware view 4.5.

  See 4.5 supports the protocols RDP and PCOIP for accessing jobs. If you use PCOIP, then the customer need to establish a VPN before you start the client. RDP would be able to support the client connection to the WWW through the Security server.

• T5520 HP with Windows CE 5.0 can not connect to VMware View Portal

  Hello people:

  I tried the VMware View 3 solution in a test environment, I have already tested with my laptop configuration

  and when I decided to start trying with a thin client questions start

  First of all, I look in the compatibility guide for a customer support light HP and I got the HP T5520 with a Windows CE 5.0 operating system.

  and when I try to log in to the portal to view VMware via http:// < Server ip & gt; I got an error indicating that the operating system is not compatible wich I do not understand because the compatibility guide says it's compatible

  After that I tried to do a manual install through execution of the installer and the system there is no enough space to install which is meaningless too.

  I'll apreciate any help because I can't understand how this model may appear as compatible and give me this questions to test my VMware View solution

  Thank you

  It was indeed option (2), it's fairly well hidden on the HP website, but you need to download their "VDM Broker Add-On for Microsoft Windows CE": http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=500832&prodNameId=500833&swEnvOID=2051&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=vc-67534-1

  It can be found in the section "Software - System Management" of their support for the HP T5520 download page. Thanks to wponder and the team of the HP Alliance for pointing me to the finger in the right place.

• Unable to connect to VMWare View Manager

  After installing VMWare Server connection View, it should be possible to connect with domain controller connect credentials to https://connectserverip/admin. Unfortunately, I get the following error message by:

  

  View connection server is part of a domain and not domain controller. If I use a name of user and password invalid, not available on the domain controller, give notice page perfect: "an incorrect user name or password was entered.".

  Everything works on 1 Server ESXi with only 4 virtual machines, 1) Linux, 2) vCenter (w2003), 3) viewController (w2003), 4) viewConnectionServer (w2003). For installation, I used an evaluation license and the quick start guide and administration.

  Have you installed the servers from scratch or you clone them?

• I can't install vmware view without a second server?

  I am really new to server management. When I tried to install VMware View Server connection I got an error. He said

  A controller of Active Directory (AD DC) domain to the "local" area could contacted could.

  Ensure that the domain name is typed correctly. If the name is correct, click details to correct that information.

  I also read somewhere that you can not install vmware view on the same Active Directory domain controller running server. Is it possible to install vmware view without going through a second server? If so, how?

  You may first have to install ESX/ESXi in your server.

  • After successful installation, connect to the respective client server using vShphere.
  • Try to create 3 virtual machines and install Microsoft 2 k 8 operating systems.
  • The first virtual machine, you can use it as Server Active directory micorsoft.
  • Then you can you use it to vCenter server.
  • Third one you can use for connection server vmware view.
  • You may need to create two more additional, as virtual machines VMware view comments and the other as a client of the view. You can either install windows XP/windows 7 for the VMS in the thesis.

  As already mentioned in messages, you can view VMware View Installation Guide for more details.

• How to fix VMware View Server certificate revocation check connection error?

  Dear community,

  For about 2 weeks, I feel a revocation of the certificate check error in our environment Horizon see 6.2. The strange thing is that, within 12 hours about two (replication) connection servers and the vCenter Server / server of composer (on the same machine) are considered as having invalid certificates, even if, in fact, they are valid (CA certificates). We use no security servers.

  The view admin console shows the following for servers connection:

  The server certificate is not approved.

  The server certificate cannot be verified.

  For the vCenter, he said (that I have validated manually the certificate):

  No problems found.

  Certificate is not approved, but the thumbprint of the certificate is accepted.

  With the connection series on 'full', States that the login server logs for the vCenter server:

  TRACE (B 17-0 - 0E98) < VCHealthUpdate > [NativeKeyVault] validateCertificateChain response: {result = FAIL, EndEntityReasons = cantCheckRevoked, ChainReasons = invalid, SelfSigned = false, EndErrorCode = 16777280, EndInfoCode = 258, ChainErrorCode = 16777280, ChainInfoCode = 256, PolicyErrorCode =-2146885613}

  As far as I can see there no similar entries for login server certificates in the newspaper.

  At the moment I am under the environment with composer and vCenter certificates manually valid and invalid connection (red) server certificates (as view clients and browsers are not disabled).

  I already checked that I am able to do everything 'green' again via setting the registry key 'CertificateRevocationCheckType'2 (as described here Configure the server certificates certificate revocation check). This brings me to the conclusion that one of the intermediate certificates cannot be validated. So, I had the information a "version" of an intermediate (intermediate certification authority) certificate has been revoked. There seems to be no coincidence - like the time point is as well, but this particular version does not appear to be used in the servers of my connection.

  However, even with full logging enabled, I can't information which (intermediate) certificate cannot be validated and why. I expected to see something like 'OCSP verification' or 'check the CRL' but I can't find it in the newspapers. However, I noticed that one of the intermediate certificates lacked the OCSP URL (even if the field "Authority Information Access" existed). Of course I updated the certificate with a version that contains the OCSP URL, but it has not changed anything.

  In addition, I checked manually all of the certificates in the chain with openssl (for OCSP) and CRLs as well, but everything seems to be OK (all URLS are accessible and no opportunity of certificate has been revoked). Actually, I do not interpret the error as "that the connection to the server is an invalid certificate because it has been revoked", but "it cannot check if it has been revoked. The servers do not need a proxy and nothing configured, so (I checked the proxy settings system context, also).

  For now, the problem is not critical, such as 'red' status connection server has no effect on our customers and so I could turn off certificate revocation check (or switch to check that the certificate of the server (2)). But of course, I would really solve the problem.

  Is there someone who can give me a hint on what to check, for example, how do I know which certificate cannot be controlled and why? Someone had the same or a similar problem? Support VMware is working on the problem as well, but they seem don't know is not the problem, either.

  I appreciate the thoughts and responses! Thank you!

  Best regards

  Dear community,

  During this time, I was able to correct the error described at the beginning of this thread. Jump to the end to see what could probably help you...

  1. At first, I installed an additional standalone VMware View Server connection in order to check the following related certificates:
     1. VMware support always told me to renew my certificates because they "were not valid" etc. - even if in fact they were (like external URL calls and attested manual verification and tests).
     2. That's why I created new additional certificates for the login server and configured to include the vCenter even as my production environment - only difference was I didn't inlcude the composer who runs the server vCenter himself.
     3. The result was that the server was "green" including both the vCenter Server certificate which could be 'not reliable' by the environment of production - strange, huh?
  2. After I reset the additional server to a turned wink where connection to the server was not yet installed (before that, I uninstalled the connection to the server in case there is information in vCenter thereon) and reinstalled as a replica of the production environment server. Somehow I expected this, but still quite strange the vCenter Server (and composer) now again was considered "invalid", even if the certificate of the server connection itself considered still valid and green. For test purposes, so I put certifice revocation checking on '2' (only one server certificate check) - but only on the 'old' production servers' and 'magical' everything has been considered valid. So as I see it, there seems to be some sort of information stored on the 'old' connection servers that makes them believe that invalid certificates and that the information is replicated on the third server unless I lower the revocation of the certificate controls on these servers. Altervative explanation could be that VMware View does not accept certificates with aliases that do not include the 'real' server name - that is / was in fact certificates the old servers connection. The new server certificate connection included the real name and the alias. I understand if this is the case, but then I expect that it be documented somewhere (I have not found this information) and also wouldn't understand why it worked without problem for several years before.
  3. After finding that out, I created new certificates for the 'old' connection servers, including aliases and real names and replaced the certificate on one of the servers (and restarted the login server) - only a few successfully. Once I put the revocation checking on '4' again on this server, the login server certificate was still considered valid, but not the vCenter and certificate of composer.
  4. Now, I've uninstalled the old login server (removed from the view) and reinstalled completely (including an update of the 2008 R2 2012 R2 OS) and after I have it reintegrated into the environment, everything remained green - as long I have will activate revocation checking on the second login server "old." This is why I did the same with this (completely reinstalled and reinstated it) and now everything is green with the revocation checking enabled on all replicas of server connection.
  5. The next step I uninstall the additional replica because I created only for troubleshooting purposes.

  So what will no doubt help in similar cases:

  • Reinstall the servers of connection one by one, including:
  • Uninstalling html access (if used), uninstall the login server to view, uninstall 'VMware' AD LDS Instance.
  • Removal of the connection to the server of replication group: run "s - r s uninstalled_ vdmadmin.exeservername" on one of the servers connection remaining.
  • Reinstall/Update OS (may not be necessary, but I did not test that)
  • Reininstall, return to the login server replica. If you used the certificates which included only the alias of the server I recommend you to create new ones, including the name of the server as well, but maybe it's not necessary as well. If you want to keep the certificates which only inlcude the alias it will be necessary to install this certificate after the first replication of the servers (see below).

  My question for technicians of VMware/developers: It is supported to use certificates include only the server alias. Otherwise why it worked before and where is it documented? Where are certificate cached information so that simply replace the certificate was only some, and not a complete success (see above). FYI - when I paired initially replicas that I had to install the CA (including only the pseudonym) after the first replication - now with certificates (including the server name and the alias), I could install the certificate before you replicate (= the login server installation).

• VMware VIew 6 (PCOIP): Windows Client and web browser connects, Android and Ubuntu - don't

  Hello colleagues!

  VMware Horizon Client 3.4.0 build-2769709

  VMware View 6.1.1 construction-2769403

  VMware vSphere 6.0.0 2776511

  That's what's wrong: used SecurityServer and connecting to the server. External connection - via a router. When it is connected to a vmware PCOIP Protocol (Internet) outside of the view with a Windows client and a web browser, it works fine. But when connecting from Android or Linux (Ubuntu 14) load the desktop does not occur. Android immediately displays the message 'connection to server lost', Ubuntu delivers all messages - I'll be back on the screen to select a pool table.

  Which connection via MS RDP connection protocol is correctly to all customers.

  In the settings ConnectionServer in PCOIP Security Gateway set up the external address of the router.

  Redirect them router ports:

  -TCP 80,443,8443,4172,32111

  -UDP 4172,32111

  Any ideas?

  In security settings server in 'URL of PCOIP' was FQDN, but it must be the IP address.

• Disable the protocols and encryption algorithms in VMware View connection server and security

  Hello

  In my recent deployment, I had a customer request to disable some protocols and encryption at the Server VMware View connection and security. I read some articles and found that this has been achieved by editing the locked.properties file. But when we have edited and replaced the file, users could not connect to the virtual desktop, so came back to us backwards and desktop computers worked fine.

  I found a few articles that we don't need to edit the locked.properties file in VMware view Horizon 6. If someone has done this please guide me through. Here are the details of the protocols and encryption algorithms that should be disabled

  Diffie-Hellman key

  Enable SSL v2/V3 and TLS 1.1 and 1.2

  Disable the RC4 encryption algorithm

  Select the secret of transfer (if possible)

  
  

  VMware view 6 is the connection to the server and security server.
  

  
  

  Thank you.
  

  Hello

  I implemented the following steps (from the manual):

  1. update the JCE policy files to take in charge the high-strength Cipher Suites

  You can add some cipher suites of high resistance for greater assurance, but first you must update the local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar files to each server instance and the security strategy for JRE 7 see connection to the server. You update these policy files by downloading the files to extend JCE (Java Cryptography) unlimited strength political jurisdiction from the Oracle Java SE download site 7.

  If you include some high-strength cipher suites in the list and you do not replace the policy files, you cannot restart the VMware view Horizon connection to the Server service.

  Policy files are located in the directory C:\Program View\Server\jre\lib\security from VMware.

  For more information on the download of the JCE unlimited strength jurisdiction policy 7 files, see the Oracle Java SE download site: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.

  After you update the policy files, you need to create backups of the files. If you upgrade the instance of the view connection server or security server, any changes you have made to these files can be replaced, and you may need to restore the backup files.

  2. the changes that policies of global acceptance with ADSI Edit

  • Start the ADSI utility on your computer see connection to the server.
  • In the console tree, select Connect to
  • In the selection or type a unique name text box or a naming context, type the unique name
    DC, DC = vdi is vmware, DC = int.
  • In the type or select a text field or the server box, select or type localhost: 389 or the name of a fully qualified domain (FQDN) of the server computer to connect to port 389 followed view.

  For example: localhost: 389 or mycomputer.mydomain.com:389

  • Expand the tree of the ADSI Editor, OU = properties, select OU = Global, then select OU = common in the right pane.
  • On the object CN = common, Global = UO, UO = properties, select each attribute that you want to change and enter the new list of security protocols or cipher suites.
    I used the following settings:

  EAP-ServerSSLCipherSuites: \LIST:TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256

  EAP-ServerSSLSecureProtocols_ \LIST:TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2

  It is not the highest possible, but they work with all the features of our customers.

  • Restart the service of VMware view Horizon connection server (server connection and security).

  This is not Activate secret transfer (if possible) , but other points are covered.

  If anyone can give a tip to activate the transfer secret, I would be grateful.

• VMware View connect not not using Nexus 7 (2013)

  Hi all.  I am a new user and have problems even connect using my Nexus 7 (2013).  I use VMware View version 2.3.3 - 1749018 on Android 4.4.2.  Whenever I try to connect to a virtual desktop, I get an error "Lost connection to server."  I can always regardless of my physical location or what wireless network that I use.  In all the same places I can always connect with my iPhone.

  Any ideas? Sorry if I left out some key info.

  Thanks for the quick response.  I went through your steps and unfortunately had no chance.  But I managed to get connected in a different way, maybe it will help others.

  My Nexus 7 is set up with two accounts different profiles/user.  The first and main is my personal account.  The second (child) account is my business account.  I managed to install the VMware View app on my work account profile, but it would never connect.  I tried to install the VMware View app on my personal account profile and it connect to 100% of the time.  So, there is some difference in my settings on these two profiles OR child accounts have some inherent differences I don't know.

  If someone else has a similar problem, try using your main account to connect!

• Can VMware View - I connect with Microsoft RDP?

  Hello world

  Can I connect via the Microsoft's RDP client Vmware View environment? No view, just Microsoft RDP client. I have a thin client model and just support Microsoft RDP Protocol. I want to connect environment seen through this customer.

  Thank you.

  Grosbois

  You MUST have a client of VMware view. Then you can connect through it to view desktop using PCoIP or RDP Protocol.

  You will be able to connect to the desktop using RDP display if your thin client is located in the same subnet (and if RDP is enabled on the desktop to view server and you know its ip address) but would not use vmware view (if you want to connect directly to your desktop from RDP Why would you need to notice), which would also directly access to a machine as you access all the other Windows VM.

  And its always advisable to disable direct RDP on view desktops.
