Configure SSL for Client Connections

To configure whether client connections use SSL when communicating with View Connection Server, you
configure a global setting in View Administrator. The setting applies to View desktop clients and clients that
run View Administrator.
Global settings affect all client sessions that are managed by a standalone View Connection Server instance or
a group of replicated instances. They are not specific to a single View Connection Server instance.
If View Connection Server is configured for smart card authentication, SSL must be enabled for client
connections.
SSL is enabled by default for client connections.
N If you disable SSL for client connections, users must deselect the Use secure connection (SSL) check
OTE
box in View Client before connecting to the View Connection Server host and administrators must type an
HTTP URL to run View Administrator.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Global Settings and click Edit.
2 To configure SSL for client connections, select or deselect Require SSL for client connections and View
Administrator.
3 Click OK to save your changes.
4 Restart the View Connection Server service to make your changes take effect.
In a group of replicated View Connection Server instances, you can restart the View Connection Server
service on any instance in the group.

Configure SSL for View Transfer Server Communications

To configure whether SSL is used for communications and data transfers between client computers that host
local desktops and View Transfer Server, you set View Connection Server settings in View Administrator.
The SSL settings for View Transfer Server communications and data transfers are specific to a single View
Connection Server instance. You might want to enable SSL on an instance that services users that connect from
the Internet, but disable it on an instance that is dedicated to internal users.
SSL is disabled by default for View Transfer Server communications and data transfers.
N These SSL settings do not affect local data, which is always encrypted.
OTE
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Servers.
2 Select the View Connection Server instance and click Edit.
3 To configure SSL for communications and data transfers between client computers that host local desktops
and View Transfer Server, select or deselect Use SSL for Local Mode operations.
These operations include checking in and checking out desktops and replicating data from client
computers to the datacenter.
