If you want to deliver published applications on demand with Horizon 8, add the App Volumes Manager from where you want to access the applications to Horizon Console. After you associate a farm with the App Volumes Manager, any host in the farm can access the applications on the App Volumes Manager. The App Volumes agent installed on the RDS hosts in the farm must be configured to reference this App Volumes Manager instance.

A default self-signed certificate is installed when you install App Volumes Manager. App Volumes agents use SSL to communicate with the App Volumes Manager and validate the certificate. For more information, see Managing SSL Between App Volumes Manager and Agent in the VMware App Volumes Administration Guide.

Procedure

  1. In Horizon Console, select Settings > Servers.
  2. Click the App Volumes Managers tab.
  3. Click Add.
  4. Add the App Volumes Manager FQDN or IP address, port, and user name and password.
    You can specify a load balancer IP address.
  5. Click OK.

Results

The App Volumes Manager is added to Horizon Console and the SSL certificate is pushed to the Horizon Connection Server. If you see a message indicating a certificate error, you must upload this manually to the Connection Server.
