Note: For more information on the location of the View log files, see Location of VMware View log files (1027744).

Cause

A locked.properties file from a previous version of View may still reside in the C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\sslgateway\conf  folder on the Connection Server which will cause the Security Server to fail to read the new SSL certificate.

Resolution

To resolve this issue:

The View Administrator console page should now launch successfully.
