VMware Horizon View 6 Certificate Issue
Thank you all in advance. I am in the middle of standing up a VDI environment for 100 users. I have the one 2012R2 server VM configured and Installed for the Connection server. I have a second 2012R2 VM with SQL express for the log database. I am in the process of building my first gold image.
The issue is that the self signed cert on the connection server is being flagged.
My questions are
1. Does it matter that is is a self signed cert. I do not have a CA set up in the environment.
2. Is there any performance issue to using a self signed cert or do I need to get one from a Commerical CA?
I'v read many posts including the post by Derek Seaman

I'm really confused on the whole Certificate config,
please help!

I looked at this the issue is that when you have to select your template, I do not have any templates available to select. - step 5 or 6 i think
it then looks like as author advised
...On this step, you will pick the certificate template that we wish to use. Again you could probably get by with the Web Server one that is built into the Windows CA, but using the VMware-SSL one created earlier off the post linked is the one I’ll be using.in reference to his first link to create the template to check before going into his steps...I did not delve further though but it is the same link as in your posted qns..probably has to step back and retrace over again the steps to verify

right but I dont get the option to use even the web server built in one

I;m logged in as the administrator. I thought the administrator account had all these privileges by default
Enterprise domain or Domain admin as it is Enterprise CA and not local admin. This is likely due to certificate templates are published to the Configuration naming context, which is stored on every domain controller in the forest in the path: CN=Certificate Templates,CN=Public Key Services,CN=Services,CN=Co
