VMware View Installation Guide
When you replace the default certificate with your own certificate, clients use the public key contained in your
certificate to encrypt the data that they send to the server. If your certificate is signed by a CA, the certificate
for the CA itself is typically embedded in the browser or is located in a trusted database that the client can
access. After a client accepts the certificate, it responds by sending a secret key, which is encrypted with the
server's public key. This key is used to encrypt traffic between the client and the server.
