VMware Horizon View Requirements for APM Integration

About VMware Horizon View server settings and SSL offloading

If you want to use Access Policy Manager (APM) to offload SSL from VMware Horizon View servers, you must configure your VMware Horizon View servers for SSL offloading. For more information, refer to the administration guide for your VMware Horizon View server and search for Off-load SSL Connections.
When configured to provide single sign-on to VMware Identity Manager, APM does not support SSL offloading; APM does, however, support SSL bridging in this case.
