Upgrade Requirements for View Composer
The View Composer upgrade process has specific requirements and limitations.
To run the View Composer installer, you must be a domain user with Administrator privileges on the
system.
Security-Related Requirements
n
View Composer requires an SSL certificate that is signed by a CA (certificate authority). If you intend to
replace an existing certificate or the default, self-signed certificate with a new certificate after you install
View Composer, you must import the new certificate and run the SviConfig ReplaceCertificate utility
to bind your new certificate to the port used by View Composer.
If you install vCenter Server and View Composer on the same Windows Server computer, they can use
the same SSL certificate, but you must configure the certificate separately for each component.
For complete information about security certificate requirements, see "Configuring SSL Certificates for
View Servers" in the VMware Horizon View Installation guide.
n
Certificates for vCenter Server, View Composer, and Horizon View servers must include certificate
revocation lists (CRLs). For more information, see "Configuring Certificate Revocation Checking on
Server Certificates" in the VMware Horizon View Installation guide.
n
Verify that no applications that run on the View Composer computer use Windows SSL libraries that
require SSL version 2 (SSLv2) provided through the Microsoft Secure Channel (Schannel) security
package. The View Composer installer disables SSLv2 on the Microsoft Schannel. Applications such as
Tomcat, which uses Java SSL, or Apache, which uses OpenSSL, are not affected by this constraint.
