Modifying LDAP Configuration Data
You can export LDAP conguration data on a View Connection Server instance to an LDIF conguration
le, modify the LDIF conguration le, and import the modied LDIF conguration le into other View
Connection Server instances to perform automatic bulk conguration operations.
You can obtain examples of LDIF syntax for any item of LDAP conguration data in View by examining the
contents of an exported LDIF conguration le. For example, you can extract the data for a desktop pool
and use that data as a template to create a large number of desktop pools.
Export LDAP Configuration Data
You can use the vdmexport command-line utility to export conguration data from a standard or replica
View Connection Server instance to an LDIF conguration le.
By default, the vdmexport command-line utility is installed in the C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware
View\Server\tools\bin directory.
Procedure
1 Log in to a standard or replica View Connection server instance.
Option Action
View 3.1 and earlier
Log in as an administrator and be a member of the Local Administrators
user group.
View 4.5 and later
Log in as a user in the Administrators or Administrators (Read only) role.
N You must be logged in as a user in the Administrators or
Administrators (Read only) role to export conguration data from the
View conguration repository.
2
At the command prompt, type the vdmexport command and use the -f option to specify the name of the
LDIF conguration le to export.
For example: vdmexport -f myexport.LDF
Alternatively, you can redirect the output instead of using the -f option.
For example: vdmexport > myexport.LDF
The vdmexport command writes the conguration of your View Connection Server instance to the le that
you specify. The command displays errors if your role has insucient privileges to view the data in the
conguration repository.
Defining a Desktop Pool in an LDIF Configuration File
You can dene a desktop pool in an LDIF conguration le and import the customized LDIF conguration
le to create a large number of desktop pools.
N You can also create customized LDIF conguration les for other objects that are dened in the
LDAP repository, including global conguration seings, conguration seings for a specic View
Connection Server instance or security server, and conguration seings for a specic user.
To dene a desktop pool in an LDIF conguration le, you must add the following entries to the le.
n
A Virtual Desktop VM entry for each virtual desktop in the desktop pool
n
A VM Pool entry for each desktop pool
n
A Desktop Application entry that denes the entitlement of the desktop pool
