Virtualization Information http://virtualizationinformation.com News and Interviews about Virtualization and All Things Tech Sun, 05 Sep 2010 16:02:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Using VMware View Open Client to Troubleshoot VMware View 4 Client and Wyse Pocketcloud Connection Issues http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/virtualizationinformation/iLcf/~3/O5YlsA1bUnE/ http://virtualizationinformation.com/?p=935#comments Sun, 05 Sep 2010 15:59:43 +0000 ssnowden http://virtualizationinformation.com/?p=935 This may be a well known issue, but I ran into anomalous behavior that  gave me an opportunity to learn something.

I’ve got 3 machines that I want to connect to our View Connection Server from outside the firewall. The first machine is my Mac Book Pro using the VMware Open Client that I’ve been using quite a while successfully connecting to the View Connection Server. The second machine is my Windows 7 desktop with the VMware View 4 Client and the third is my iPad with Wyse Pocketcloud. These last two machines are both new setups and never connected to the View Connection Server before.

I tried logging in with my Wyse Pocketcloud on the iPad and kept getting a bad username and password, even though I was certain they were correct. I checked the SSL settings and retried several times to make sure I wasn’t fat fingering my password to no avail. So, I went to my Windows 7 machine to try with the VMware View 4 client and got the same error of bad username and password.

Just to make sure there wasn’t a problem with the View Connection Server, I tried from the View Open Client on my Mac Book Pro. It connected with no problem and then I saw the cause of my issues when it connected to my desktop. Up popped the familiar Windows message of  ”Your password is about to expire in 7 days, would you like to change it now? ”  I changed the password, retried on  both the iPad and Windows 7 machines and they connected with no problems.

It seems that both the VMware View 4 client and  the Wyse Pocketcloud client see the change password  pop up message from Windows as a bad username and password and have no mechanism to allow you to connect to change the password like the View Open Client has.

Its been a bit funny how they have mentioned in the middle of other presentations about them buying companies as almost an afterthought.

Integrien and TriCipher both are good purchases and TriCipher is a really important one to get the SSO addressed to enable cloud adoption.The most striking thing to me though is how much VMware have shifted a bit on their approach to desktop virtualization. They sound very much like Citrix now as far as placing the end user experience as the primary success factor to desktop virtualization. I noticed on Twitter that I wasn’t the only one hearing it that way.
