Horizon View 7 Network ports/diagram

I always find this document to be really helpful when deploying not only View, but when other components start getting involved:

vRealize Operations for Horizon
VMware Horizon Client
VMware Identity Manager
VMware Unified Access Gateway
VMware App Volumes
VMware User Environment Manager
VMware vCenter Server
VMware ESXi
VMware AirWatch

And you either need a checklist of ports or need to precisely and politely inform the Network team/Firewall admin that you need some ports opening up.

Me: Can you not just open all the ports I just told you from that IP?

FW Bloke: No, I need some documentation to prove those are the ports I need to change for my change request.

Me: But…I sent you it weeks ago?

FW Bloke: I know, but I didn’t make the change so need to raise a new CR.

Me: So… Just add the document I sent across…Please?

FW Bloke: I can’t, I need a new one.

Me:… I hate you.

FW Bloke: I don’t care.

Vmware UAG – It is the right damned password!!!

*Tap tap tap tap*

Login failed

*Tap tap tap tap*

Login failed

Yes…You are typing the correct password. When setting up the UAG, there’s a minimum password complexity…It just doesn’t tell you that you met it or not… Honestly it’s up there with the firewall changes for VROPS they don’t tell you about, plus calling Domains ‘Realms’…

Anyway! Easily fixed – Root password on the console screen should be fine and do the following:

echo ‘adminPassword=P@ssw0rd’ > /opt/vmware/gateway/conf/firstboot.properties
chown gateway /opt/vmware/gateway/conf/firstboot.properties
supervisorctl restart admin

Lo and Behold! You can access the WebUI again…

One of my colleagues wrote a UAG Firewall rules generator which is worth a look!
