You must configure the system certificate store for the Horizon FLEX server to store the certificates used for the Horizon FLEX virtual machines.

Note: If the certificate is commercially issued by a trusted root certificate authority or intermediate certificate authority, this task is not required.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. On the Horizon FLEX server, start MMC (mmc.exe), add the Certificates snap-in for a computer account, and manage certificates for the local computer.
  2. Select File > Add/Remove Snap-in.
  3. Click the Certificates snap-in and click Add.
  4. On Certificates snap-in display, select Computer account and click Next.
    The Horizon FLEX server requires this setting.
  5. Select Local Computer, click Finish, and click OK.
  6. In the left navigation pane, expand Certificates (Local Computer).
  7. Right-click Trusted Root Certification Authorities and select All Tasks > Import.
  8. Click Next.
  9. Browse for the root certificate file and click Next.
  10. Select Place all certificates in the following store: Trusted Root Certification Authorities , click Next, and click Finish.
  11. Right-click Intermediate Certification Authorities and select All Tasks > Import .
    The Certificate Import Wizard opens.
  12. Browse for the root certificate file and click Next.
  13. Select Place all certificates in the following store: Intermediate Certification Authorities, click Next, and click Finish.
  14. Repeat steps 12 and 13 for each intermediate certificate to be installed.

What to do next

Test the trusted certificate by manually installing it on the endpoint. If an end user accessing the Horizon FLEX server receives a prompt to allow an untrusted certificate, then the certificate is not trusted. If the end user does not receive the prompt, the certificate is trusted and can be used. Add the trusted certificates in the source virtual machine. See Create a Source Virtual Machine in Fusion Pro or Create a Source Virtual Machine in Workstation Pro (Not included in Horizon FLEX).
