After upgrading to VMware Horizon View 7, the administrator webpage displays a blank error window when trying to connect using the IP address of the Connection Server.

Horizon View 7 adds new security features that checks for the original URL for the web request. If not, it rejects the request and display the blank error window.

Steps to resolve this:

Use https://FQDN/admin

On every Connection Server create a locked.properties text file in c:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\sslgateway\conf
Add the following line: checkOrigin=false

Save the file
Restart the “VMware Horizon View Connection Server” service

After the modification you’re able to connect to the View Administrator URL using the IP address of the Connection Server.
