Hey everyone, I am not sure if you all noticed this yet, but I updated my iPad and iPhone to the new VMware Horizon View client version 2.0 and it now does not error out on the self signed certificates. When VMware View 5.0 was released you recall many of us with labs and other installations saw the below screen shot issue where we could not connect due to a self signed certificate issue from a screenshot and article Michael Webster wrote about how to install these un-trusted certificates and how to install them. I borrowed his screen shot below with the error:
VMware Horizon View iOS 2.0 Changes
Now since I updated to the new version, I am not sure why I tried, but it seems the lock out on app allowing un-trusted certificates has been removed so this will now appears to work again for your own Certificate Authority as well as the self signed certificates as it is in my case. You can see below the old options are back to connect. Now it is still always recommended to use real certificates of course but this solves my connection problem to my View Server inside vCloud Director from my iPad
You can also see the certificate is allowed to be accepted
