• View Connection Server Manager - column 'User' not showing not connected in the accounts to the inventory of a Fund of the pool

  Hello

  I am trying to identify the point of failure in communication between a pool of related clones and the view connection server - which prevents the management console to see if-and-who is connected to a particular linked clone VM.

  He showed the status of 'User' correctly in the past, but after several re-compositions and to implement a McAfee Firewall required on the connection server, composer and each Linked-Clone - it stopped. Windows Firewall is disabled machines.

  I spent some time already tuning firewall McAfee to enable all required traffic and services and everything works - it seems fair that he is unable to take inventory on the linked clones with regard to if someone is logged in one.

  I suppose that the Agent view handles make this info on the login server, but I can't seem to identify the communication which is apparently filtered, when everything else seems to work in the infrastructure of the view.

  I'm testing with the firewall turned off to see if I can get it working again.

  I have attached a perforated Cap where is the problem.

  Thanks in advance,

  Corey

  It may be a stretch but check the Userinit registry key located at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogin.   You want to ensure that C:\Program VMware View\Agent\bin\wssm.exe is specified in this key as will facilitate the session/user information to the broker for the connections once connected.

• View connection Server 5.0 running?

  I would like to know exactly how server connection works in VMware View environment.

  My understanding of the connection to the server

  (1) authenticates the user

  (2) the connection between the client and the virtual desktop negotiating

  (3) transfers Office

  Once the user is logged on the desktop, all traffic passes between the office and customer view, and in the meantime if connection server goes down, the user can continue working without interruption? And if the Security server is installed all the flow of traffic through the Security Server? And also so that the connection to the server is out of service new users won't be able to connect to their desktop computer.

  I would also like to know the functioning of the server of replicas of my understanding, that it is an exact copy of the connection to the server? In the scenario where our main login server breaks down the replica server will take over its own or users will need to type the replica server address to connect to their desktop and how can balance us the load between the connection to the server and server replicas. Any help will be much appreciated.

  The best answer on the functioning of the connection to the server just PG 97 view installation doc http://pubs.vmware.com/view-51/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/view-51-installation.pdf

  The customer connection view initial, which is used for authentication of users and the desktop view selection, is created

  over HTTPS when a user provides a domain name to View Client. If the firewall and load balancing software are

  configured properly in your network environment, this request is received by the server connection or safety view

  the server host. In this respect, users are authenticated and your desktop is selected, but users have not yet

  connected to desktop view.

  When users connect to view desktop computers, by default, View customer makes a second connection to the view

  Connection to the server or host security server. This is called the tunnel connection because it provides

  a tunnel secured for the transport of the RDP and other data via HTTPS.

  When users connect to computers view from office with the PCoIP display protocol, View Client can make another

  connection to PCoIP Secure Gateway on the host server login to view or to the Security server. The PCoIP

  Secure gateway ensures that only authenticated users can connect with desktop view with PCoIP.

  When the secure tunnel or PCoIP Secure Gateway is disabled, the desktop view sessions are established directly

  between the client system and the virtual desktop computer from view, bypassing the view connection server or

  host server security. This type of connection is called a direct connection.

  Desktop sessions that use direct connections remain connected even if view connection to the server is no longer

  running.

  How to use a server replication and a connection to the server is to place them behind a load balancer.  One of the servers stops the balancer work load is modified to send all traffic to the job server.  If you use also servers security for connections outside the DMZ, security servers have a connection for a connection to the server and the load balancer will in front of security servers.

  Hope that helps

• The view connection server connection failure - and that's it.

  Hi all

  I use a box of 10 Windows with Horizon View Client 5.4.1. Our connections are enabled smart cards. When I run the view of the Horizon, I get the login server and hit connect. I am asked to choose a certificate; I choose the right pair, enter my PIN and then get an error message saying "connection to the view connection server failed." And that's the entire message. When I choose the right certificate, get "the connection to the view connection server is not. " No user could not be found for your certificate." That tells me that it's to reach the server, but without more info, I can not find the problem.

  I opened a session with a view to the Horizon with other machines and can I use my chip card with other sites on this computer. There are ports should I open to view Horizon? What else can I try?

  I started poking around outside the view of the Horizon and found the problem, I'll leave it here in case anyone else has this problem. I had to go to Internet Options-> content in-> certificates-> Select Certificate-> advanced and enable authentication of the Client.

• 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.

• Download link on the standard view connection server landing page no longer works (see 5.1)

  Hello

  We noticed a problem in the last week or so when clients attempt to download the client to view the launch of our view connection server page.

  The link is https://www.vmware.com/info?id=1109#win

  Who then is forwarded when it lands on the vmware site at

  https://my.VMware.com/Web/VMware/info/slug/desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_horizon_view_clients/1_0#win

  Unfortunately it is no longer available then you get pushed back to the root of the VMware download page.

  After doing a little digging, I discovered that the link to the download of the client page is now

  https://my.VMware.com/Web/VMware/info/slug/desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_horizon_clients/1_0#win

  So, it seems that VMware withdrew the designation of the download page view.

  No doubt other people have this problem too?

  Now, I know that I can change the link on the launch of the connect to Server page, but I'd rather have this fixed on the side of VMware so that I don't have to worry about updating the link when VMware change their website.

  Sincere greetings

  Matt Thurston

  To solve this, had to follow the part of this guide

  Only the part that details how to change the link on the download page.

• Faced with Windows 2008 R2 PKI, self-signed certificates & view iPad customer Secure Authentication to view connection server: UGH!

  Background: I was instructed to create a VMware View isolated laboratory test so that HIGHER-UPS can see how they could access the VM dedicated as well as how their developers could put related clones on-the-fly. The project was successful! Yay!

  Addendum: A boss wants to see how VMware View works when accessing his computer virtual dedicated via his iPad on the internet... And who needs a secure SSL connection.

  The problem is: the domain name I chose casually because the lab did not belong to me... So I can't have a real certificate from a trusted commercial certification authority.

  So I'll try to roll my own public Windows 2008 R2 PKI and... All that forcing the iPad to use DC/DNS server in the lab... Get only the single get iPad trust view connection server by importing a sort of certificate.

  Can I export/import a certificate of the CA of DC to the iPad via an attachment... And it happens with confidence. But how to create a login to view the server certificate and electronic-mail/import in the iPad so it happens with confidence? Whenever I try to export the certificate of the certificate of the view connection server store, send it to the iPad and install... The connection server certificate appears as 'not reliable' and the VMware View client will not connect.

  (Of course, I could get sloppy and set the iPad Client to accept untrusted connections... "But I want to solve the problem of approved connection).

  I could be missing something royally on the self-signed certificates and certificate chains.

  (It is a first for me dealing with Active Directory Windows Certificate Services. In the past, I always just installed expensive commercial SSL CA certificates in the certificates Windows Server stores before.)

  Any help or direction, you can provide would be appreciated. I'm rather confused.

  See you soon!

  Keegan

  Hello

  Maybe was your initial problem that the provided certificate must be a descendant of a trusted root, such as Verisign cert or

  the root certificate must be installed and all the intermediate certificates in the trust chain down to the one you use?

• ICMP traffic view Client to view connection server & desktop

  I noticed that when users log in view that there is a lot of ICMP traffic from the Client host view to view connection Desktop server & VDI.  I have ICMP blocked for from external users so I see a lot of these attempts in my logs to deny.  I checked the VMware documentation and can't find anything to talk to allow ICMP.

  So I guess I wonder why the client view is trying to do, and what is the purpose?  I'm hurt anything by blocking ICMP traffic?

  Hi nzorn,

  This is the expected behavior.

  The reason is during an active session of view's PCoIP traceroute for their peer endpoints and record results in their respective newspapers. This information is necessary to PCoIP troubleshooting purposes eg determine the number of jumps and the latency of the ICMP.

  Kind regards

• The upgrade of the view connection Server 4.6

  My view VM connection server currently running 4.5 and I wanted to upgrade to 4.6.  90% of my end-users have the agent 4.5 and 4.5 client.  I upgrade first before upgrading the server to connect to 4.6?  I want to have the 4.6 available for download to local users, but I'm afraid if I improve the connection to the server at 4.6 4.5 users won't be able to connect.  Everything I read of VM Ware, it should be possible.  I was wondering if someone had no problem doing this upgrade?

  Thank you!

  Ben

  Connection brokers, security server and perhaps the composer.  I don't remember if there is another version 4.6 on top of my head.

• View connection Server 5 Update 1

  I improve my view system 4.6 pilot VDI to view 5 Wednesday. Should I upgrade to 5.0.1 which was recently published just a week or two ago, or do I have to install the base 5.0 (no update)? I ask this question because the new customer View 5.0.1 does NOT connect to my VDI 4.6 environment. It produces an SSL error message. (I started a discussion on this issue)

  
  Given that I've never used the tab View event Database, I would like to start using it. However, I don't know how to install this database? This setting simply uses that are configured on the vCenter Server database of composer information? Maybe it's a still a 3rd database (SQL DB, DB composer and now event Datbase vCenter?)

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

  Thanks in advance...

  I always wait a bit before the upgrade to the latest version, unless there is some afflicted a pressing need.  This allows me to see what kind of problems I'll run in and it seems that you have already understood a.

• Customer display 5.0.0 and compatibility view connection server 5.1

  Curently we run see 5.0.0 eviorment but we are planing an upgrade in 5.1 mode and I'm a little confused abut compatibility view 5.1 server connection and view customer 5.0.0.

  Here in this compatibility matrix, it seems that customer 5.0.0 and 5.1 server are compatible.

  
  And here, in this compatibility matrix, it looks like this only 5.01 client is compatible with Server 5.1

  

  So if I upgrade the servers to connect to 5.1 will be users with 5.0.0 customers still able to connect to their desktop?

  Best regards, Primoz

  Customer display 5.0 is compatible with the 5.1 server connection; However, the 4.x clients are not. That's what you see above.

• Operating systems supported for view connection Server 5.0

  We have updated our current connection to 5.0 servers, but they run on Windows 2003 (64-bit). 5.0 view documentation indicates that the login Server 5.0 view must run on Windows 2003 R2 (32-bit) or Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit).

  See http://pubs.vmware.com/view-50/index.jsp?topic=/com.vmware.view.installation.doc/GUID-37D39B4F-5870-4188-8B11-B6C41AE9133C.html

  Our current connection servers are working fine on Windows 2003 (64-bit), so I wonder if the documentation is correct. I think that its more likely that Version 5.0 require a x 64 Windows.

  Connection to the server may run on other variants of the OS, but you only need to run it on one of the supported operating systems.

  Also note that for the PCoIP gateway features, the connection to the server or Security Server must be running that Server 2008 R2 64-bit.

• Failed to connect to the view connection server. (null)

  Excuse me, have friends meet this community inside of things?

  Excuse me, how solve the problem. I'm sorry. My English is bad. GOOGLE translation.

  Please contact me [email protected]

  Thank you.

  I understand your view server connection can talk to the AD, but the domain controller cannot speak in jobs view. If this is the case, I would look in the following areas for a solution:

  (1) first of all check the virtual machines in the pool. If they have active firewalls those turn power off. Also, if you use the antivirus on them to ensure that there is not a policy that blocks the view agent.

  (2) you can also revisit your network. Make sure that your view infrastructure can communicate with your AD infrastructure. Also, make sure that your AD infrastructure can talk to your view infrastructure.

  (3) check the quickprep view the account that you use to add machines to AD. Make sure that this account has the required permissions to add machines to the ad placement you specified in the view.

  These should help you get started. Good luck!

• View connection Server 4.5 fills memory, unresponsive

  Hi all.

  We were expiermenting with view 4.5 for a few weeks now and I came across a disturbing problem.  After a few days, our customers view will not be able to connect to the server.  Shows the server console that it lacks virtual memory and has tried to increase its allocation of opening.  In doing so, the Web site and a connection to the server stops responding and the system must be restarted (it's easier than restarting the service).

  We started running the server (Server 2003 Enterprise, 32-bit) with 512 MB, it increased to 1 GB and it rose again to 2 GB.  The use of memory continues to climb and the pagefile is nearly full again.  Manager tasks shows nothing consume the whole portion, but the process of ws_TomcatService (Web of VMware View service component) employs approximately 250 MB of memory and has the largest share of memory listed/consumed.

  Does anyone have an idea why the memory grows out of control?  We need to try to pass to the Server 2008 64 bit (which is on our to-do list)?  We cannot let the server have a runaway memory consumption, but we can give him a little more if you have to.

  We have 23 jobs in sight, no automatic deployment and no ThinApps.  We are running on vSphere 4.1 and use not all replication between servers of the view (we have one per site).

  Thank you!

  Alan Price

  Hi, Alan. 2 gig is not close enough to the server of the view.  For the installation of 32-bit, you must at least 4. Made to low memory to start this way and found our clients are disconnected while being not not able to connect to any.  Once we reached 4 GB, we were good.  I'm not sure about the memory leak on that Yes, it's strange.  I know that tomcat has proved to be quite the pig, even in Virtual Center.  We did move from 32-bit to 2008 R2, and it is an experience much better.  He recommends 10 gig of RAM and that is probably the sweet spot on the side of 64-bit.  Do not take into account all messages from Hi Alan, my machine has panicked and brought me to hit the button send 3 times!

  Thank you!
