VMware strongly recommends that you configure SSL certificates for authentication of View Connection Server instances, security servers, and View Composer service instances.
A default SSL server certificate is generated when you install View Connection Server instances, security servers, or View Composer instances. You can use the default certificate for testing purposes.
Replace the default certificate as soon as possible. The default certificate is not signed by a Certificate Authority (CA). Use of certificates that are not signed by a CA can allow untrusted parties to intercept traffic by masquerading as your server.

Configuring and Managing a Horizon View 7 Cloud Pod Architecture Environment
With the Cloud Pod Architecture feature, you can link together multiple View pods to provide a single large desktop and application brokering and management environment.
A View pod consists of a set of View Connection Server instances, shared storage, a database server, and the vSphere and network infrastructures required to host desktop virtual machines and application pools. In a traditional View implementation, you manage each pod independently. With the Cloud Pod Architecture feature, you can join together multiple pods to form a single View implementation called a pod federation.
A pod federation can span multiple sites and datacenters and simultaneously simplify the administration effort required to manage a large-scale View deployment.
In this video, two previously standalone View pods in different datacenters are joined together to form a single pod federation. An end user in this environment can connect to a View Connection Server instance in the Student-Desktop datacenter and receive a desktop or application in the SA data center.
