VMware SSL VPN Plus Multiple Profiles

Issue:

VMware NSX SSP VPN Plus clients on a users workstation have a one-2-one mapping, meaning, you can only have 1 profile to an edge gateway per workstation.

This is a nightmare for administators who may manage multiple environments.

Resolution:

There is a workaround on windows, i’ve not found one on Unix, yet!

  1. Close VMware SSL VPN-Plus and make sure the service is not running
  2. Open up regedit (start, run, regedit)
  3. Expand out the heirchy to the below: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\VMware, Inc.\SSL VPN-Plus Client
  4. Right Click and add a new Connection #n, #1, #2, #3 etc.

5. Once you’ve added as many as you need, simply add the below keys and subkeys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\VMware, Inc.\SSL VPN-Plus Client\Connection #3]
“BSValue”=dword:00000100
“ConnectionAlias”=”Access_Alto_3”
“GatewayList”=”A.B.C.D:443”

6. You will also need to increase the ConnectionCount key and increment up as required.

7. Back to your VMware SSL VPN Plus Client, you should now see on the dropdown for “Network” your newley created profiles.
