   • NOTE:

     Certificate checking mode— Certificate checking mode determines how the client proceeds when the client cannot verify that your connection to the server is secure. We recommend that you do not change this setting unless instructed to do so by your system administrator.

     To access the certificate checking mode, click the icon on the upper-right corner of the window, and then click Configure SSL from the drop-down list. In the VMware Horizon client SSL configuration dialog box, select from any of the following options based on your requirements:

     • Never connect to untrusted servers
     • Warn before connecting to untrusted servers
     • Do not verify server identify certificates
