Horizon View "This Page is Not Secure"

I have a connection to my VDI desktops via F5 (build using the iApp) and it essentially works i.e. I can get a virtual desktop although with a slight issue.   To start with I enter the URL e.g. ht...

Hey Veato,

 

Based on what im readinn the connection is a LTM connection to your VDI servers for authentication and the IP address that you listed is the ip address of the desktop your client directly connecting to the HTML5 Blast connection.

 

When using LTM we do not tunnel sessions unless the tunnel boxes are turned on via the connection servers, and even then you would have to configure the F5 to route the PCoIP and Blast traffic through the BigIP via the IAPP or manual configurations.

 

Another Alternative to deal with this is to use our APM Proxy which allows us to tunnel all of the session activity and doesnt do the direct connection.

 

The Certificate error is expected behavior when doing direct connections, the rewrite on the URL that happens after the acceptance of the certificate is more for the framework around the HTML5 connection allowing multiple connections.

 

One thing to note if you do decide to tunnel the traffic through he brokers for the HTML5 (checking the box for the Blast Extreme gateway on the brokers) any reboot of these servers could cause user disconnects, but would remove the certificate error. Also that Blast (HTML5) and Blast Extreme Traffic (Native Client) would be routed through the connection servers.

 

Hope this helps
