Hi
For my homelab I have a View 4.5 environment running for some while now without problems. Since my ADSL router can only open some ports, PCoIP was not an option, so I connected to my View Connection server over the internet over https, made a View RDP connection and all was fine.
Last week someone pointed me to OpenVPN SSL appliance and I decided to give it a try. Very easy to setup and was running very quick. On my router I opened: tcp 443 / udp 1194 and redirected them to the View Connection server.
What works:
- I can setup a VPN connection
- in the
- once the VPN is setup I can ping internal addresses using internal FQDN, shortnames and IP address
- Using mstsc I can setup an RDP session to my domain controller and all other servers including the view connection server.
What doesn't work is making a View connection:
- I start the View Client
- I enter the internal IP of the View Connection server in the connection settings box
- Then I see it making a connection and quickly prompt me for userid / password
- after entering the credentials, I briefly see the status changing to "authenticating" and then it dies
- I never get the box that shows the available desktop pools and it just hangs forever.
I have no VLANs, all is one flat network. Only the VPN network, created by the OpenVPN appliance is in the 5.5.x.x range.
Any tips?

Solved.... Stupid me, forgot to remove the external address in the View Connection Server.
