This is one of those things that I’ve seen requested time and time again lately so I decided to blog it. Full disclosure, I saw this on another blog years ago but now that blog is dead so I figured I would share the knowledge.

This blog post assumes that you have valid SSL certs already working with VMware View and you already have the Teradici Management Appliance setup and managing your zero clients. Perhaps I’ll cover the Management Appliance in a future post.

First, open a web browser and navigate to your View URL.

Click the padlock in the URL bar and View Certificate.

Navigate to the Certification Path tab so you can see the full chain of certificates. Click on the Root certificate and View Certificate. Go to the Details tab and Copy to File.

Make sure to choose the Base 64 encoded .CER option.

Choose a location to save the file.

Repeat the above steps for every certificate in the chain. Once you have the Root and Intermediate cert(s) downloaded, change the file extension to be .pem this will allow the cert to be uploaded to the Teradici Management Appliance.

Once you login to your Teradici Management Appliance, navigate to the Profiles tab and Set Properties on the profile you wish to use.

Scroll down to the bottom of the profile and under Certificate Store click Add New.

Upload the certificates that you converted to the .pem format.

You will now see your certs listed on the screen. In order for your zero client to trust the View certificate, every certificate in the chain up until that cert must be in the zero client’s trusted store.
