Replacing Certificate for Connection Server

Updated: Sep 16



Horizon Connection Server is installed with a self-signed certificate by default. This doesn't affected any features actually. But still not recommended for production environment. Since certificate error may appear during user daily operation and making a bad user experience.

  • To replace the self-signed cert, you have to obtain a valid certificate from 3rd party CA like Godaddy.

    ****** The certificate file from 3rd party must include private key******


  • Then logon to the Connection Server. Open Microsoft Management Console and add Certificate snap-in.


  • Remember to select "Computer account" for adding the snap-in.


  • Select "Personal" -> " Certificate" from left plane. Right click and select "Import".

  • Import the 3rd party certificate as usual procedure.

    ****** Select "Mark this key as exportable" during import ******

  • Once imported, you will see following 2 certificates available.

    ****** The certificate imported must exportable******


  • The self-signed certificate will have "vdm" as Friendly Name. Right click it and select "properties".


  • Rename the Friendly name to "vdm_org".

  • Click "OK".


  • Then right click the 3rd party certificate and select "properties".

  • And rename the Friendly name to "vdm".

  • Click "OK".


  • The last step you may restart the "Connection Server" service to reboot the server to take effect.
