Customizing LDAP Data 4
You can use VMware and Microsoft command-line tools to import and export LDAP conguration data to
and from View. These command-line tools import and export LDAP conguration data in LDAP Data
Interchange Format (LDIF) conguration les.
This feature is intended for use by advanced administrators who want to perform automatic bulk
conguration operations. To create scripts to update the View conguration, use View PowerCLI.

Introduction to LDAP Configuration Data
All View conguration data is stored in an LDAP directory. Each View Connection Server standard or
replica instance contains a local LDAP conguration repository and a replication agreement between each of
the View Connection Server instances. This arrangement ensures that changes to one repository are
automatically replicated to all other repositories.
When you use View Administrator to modify the View conguration, the appropriate LDAP data is
updated in the repository. For example, if you add a desktop pool, View stores information about users, user
groups, and entitlements in LDAP. View Connection Server instances manage other LDAP conguration
data automatically, and they use the information in the repository to control View operations.
You can use LDIF conguration les to perform a number of tasks, including transferring conguration data
between View Connection Server instances and backing up your View conguration so that you can restore
the state of a View Connection Server instance.
You can also use LDIF conguration les to dene a large number of View objects, such as desktop pools,
and add those objects to your View Connection Server instances without having to use View Administrator
to perform the task manually.
In View 3.1 and later releases, View performs regular backups of the LDAP repository.
LDAP conguration data is transferred as plain ASCII text and conforms to the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) RFC 2849 standard.
