VMware View 5.2 with Blast

View 5.2 support Blast, allowing user to connect to View desktop via HTML 5. To enable Blast, you need to follow the following steps. 

  1. Setup and configure View 5.2 and provision at least 1 desktop pool with PCOIP. Make sure the infra is ready for Blast installation. 
  2. On View server, install VMware-Horizon-View-HTML-Access_X64-<build number>.exe which is currently still in Beta. You can download from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/g1mf6rmzja46exn/0d4Lnwg59w.
  3. On the hosted desktop image, install VMware-Blast-<build number>.exe or VMware-Blast-x64-<build number>.exe. You can download from above link as well.
  4. Login into Horizon View Administrator page, create a desktop pool and enable HTML access on the pool settings page. Currently it support all different desktop type.
  5. You can now access the virtual desktop with browser that support HTML5. Just launch any these browsers and type "https://<hostname or IP>>".
Currently, it's still Beta, which mean there is something expected to be not working properly. However, for light weight access, I've tested so far with no problem at all. Good luck!

You can now edit the hosts file with a jailbroken iPhone/iPad. Download the hosts file using tool like FileZilla. Default location is /etc/hosts. Download Notepad++ and edit the file. I've edit the file and convert it to ANSI under the Encoding menu. Once completed, upload the file back to the default location.  Try to ping the DNS... It should works!
