Hello,
I have a VMware View 5.0 and I am experiencing an issue with our internal web proxy that has been recently in place. We are using a wpad.dat file for our machines to automatically detect our proxy web server. This wpad.dat is configured to automatically connect directly to internal servers and not go through the proxy.
I should also mention that only 443 (HTTPS) and 80 (HTTP) traffic go through the proxy all other protocols connect directly.
I have noticed that in the VMware View Configuration -> Servers-> then View Connections Servers if I Edit under the general tab I can see the IP address of our connection server. I am wondering if I can change this to a DNS name instead of an IP address if it would fix our error message.
"The View Connection Server authentication Failed Could not connect through proxy server ....Please check your proxy settings"
Does this cause any downtime/disconnections when I change this to a DNS name?
Do I need to restart any services when I change it?
Thanks for helping,
Ryan
