Replacing the Default Certificate
A default server SSL certificate is generated when you install View Connection Server. You can use the default
certificate for testing purposes.
I
You should replace the default certificate as soon as possible. The default certificate is not signed
MPORTANT
by a commercial Certificate Authority (CA). Use of noncertified certificates can allow untrusted parties to
intercept traffic by masquerading as your server.
View Connection Server instances that receive direct connections from client systems require a server SSL
certificate. If you use a security server as your client-facing system, only the security server that is paired with
the View Connection Server instance requires a server SSL certificate. A server SSL certificate is also required
if you configure View Connection Server to use smart card authentication.
View Transfer Server instances always require a server SSL certificate. Communications and data transfers
between local computers and a View Transfer Server instance are encrypted if you enable SSL settings for local
mode operations and desktop provisioning.
