Horizon 8 - LoadBalancer Design Question

[MatthiasPohl]

Hi everbody,

we´re setting up a new Horizon 8 environment. The environment is quite simple. We have two connection servers and no UAG.

We would like to load balance the two connection servers, using a barracuda load balancer. 

I don't really understand the requirements regarding the certificates. Do we have to use one certificate for all three instances (like horizon.company.xx)? Right now I've installed three different certificates (hostname1.company.xxx on connection server 1, hostname2.company.xx on connection server2 and horizon.company.xx on the loadbalancer). 

I can reach the admin interface using the virtual ip. I get redirected one of the connection servers. But when I try to establish a horizon sessions to one vm, I get the error message: The host name in the certificate is invalid or does not match

Ciao 

Hi I make a single certificate, where to insert in the certificate as SAN all three FQDNs (hostname1.company.xxx, hostname2.company.xxx and hostname.company.xxx)

Hi Fabio,

thx a lot for your reply. I've created the cert as mentioned and everything works fine now.

Kind regards
