Access point for vIDM and Horizon

dmuligan · ‎03-24-2017

Hi,

with version 2.8 is it possible to use only 1 appliance for both vIDM and horizon access ?

According to this blog: VMware Access Point: The One-Stop Shop for Secure Access to VMware Horizon 7, VMware Identity Manage... it is possible.

There are 2 FQDNs horizon.domain.com and workspace.domain.com , I guess using wildcard certificates as you can configure only one on the access point.

Is it also possible sharing the same FQDN for both access ?

Thank you.

Yes. You can use just a single DNS name for both e.g. horizon-and-ws.domain.com. Read the note though on the slight nuance of this because it will then not allow access to the Horizon HTML Access directly. A user who would enter just horizon-and-ws.domain.com would get to Identity Manager and not the HTML Access page of Connection Server. There's a valid case for both options. It is the proxyPattern setting for each that determines the forwarding rules.
