Well for anyone else that stubles upon this.
Per: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/view-client-linux-document.pdf
Configuration Key Parameter Description
view.sslVerificationMode None Sets the server certificate verification mode.
Specify "1" to reject connections when the
certificate fails any of the verification
checks, "2" to warn but allow connections
that use a self-signed certificate, or "3" to
allow unverifiable connections. If you
specify "3" no verification checks are
performed. Default is "2".
So as of right now there isn't a parameter to do what I need.
However, I am just going to write a script that pastes that line into the view-preferences file on startup.
Good luck everyone else.
