) vCenter Server and View Composer hosts need valid SSL certificates

· Best choice: Ensure your vCenter Server and View Composer have Certificate Authority (CA)-provided certificates:

o Install an SSL certificate, signed by a CA, on the Windows Server on which vCenter Server is installed.

o Do the same for View Composer. If you install View Composer and vCenter Server on the same host, they can use the same certificate, but you must configure the certificate separately for each component.

* If you install the certificate before you install View Composer, you can select your certificate during the View Composer installation.

* If you replace the default certificate later, run the SviConfig ReplaceCertificate command to bind the new certificate to the port used by View Composer.

o Make sure the CA for the new certificates, and any parent CAs, are trusted by each Windows server on which a View Connection Server instance is installed.

· Alternative: After you add vCenter Server and View Composer to View, accept the thumbprint of the default certificate for View Composer by clicking Verify in View Administrator. Do the same for vCenter Server.
