VMware Horizon JMP – Configuration

Release date: June 6th 2019

Welcome to my VMware Horizon JMP series. This topic will cover the configuration of JMP Server for VMware Horizon. It is not a very big task, mainly consisting of entering the necessary info about JMP, VMware Horizon, MS Active Directory, App Volumes and User Environment Manager to “/newadmin”. Almost all configuration of JMP Server happens in the new admin GUI in VMware Horizon and consist of the following steps.

  • Replace JMP Server self-signed certificate with Domain CA signed certificate
  • Add JMP Server to “/newadmin”
  • Add Horizon to JMP Configuration
  • Add MS Active Directory to JMP Configuration
  • Add App Volumes to JMP Configuration
  • Add UEM File Share to JMP Configuration

 

Replace JMP Server self-signed certificate with Domain CA signed certificate

Before we can connect JMP Server to Horizon, I’m going to replace the self-signed certificate on the JMP Server. I have created a separate session that explains how I did this here: VMware Horizon JMP – Replace JMP Server self-signed certificate with Domain CA signed certificate

 

Add JMP Server to “/newadmin”

In a web browser, I open the VMware Horizon Administrator URL with the /newadmin extension

Once I’ve logged in, I click JMP Configuration at the bottom of the menu on the left

On the first page, I enter my JMP Server info, Save

Once the JMP server setting is validated, I continue to the Horizon 7 tab to configure VMware Horizon
