Allow HTTP Connections

To allow SSL-offloaded connections from the LoadMaster to the Connection Servers that are not re-encrypted, the Connection Servers must be configured to accept HTTP connections from intermediate devices. This is accomplished by modifying the locked.properties file on each Connection Server on which HTTP connections are desired. Steps on how to do this are outlined below. The servers will also continue to accept HTTPS connections.

1. Navigate to the locked.properties file in the SSLGateway configuration folder on the Connection Server, for example <install_directory>\VMware\VMware View\Server\sslgateway\conf\locked.properties
2. Add the serverProtocol property. Set it to http using lower case letters
3. The next two steps are optional:
   1. If desired, change the HTTP listening port from 80 to a non-default port by setting the serverPortNonSSL to an alternate port number on which the LoadMaster will communicate with the Connection Server for HTTP connections.
   2. If the Connection Server has multiple network interfaces and you would like to designate a single interface for HTTP connections, set the server Host to the IP address of the desired interface.
4. Save the locked.properties file.
5. Restart the View Connection Server service on the server
