Modifying LDAP Configuration Data
You can export LDAP configuration data on a View Connection Server instance to an LDIF configuration
file, modify the LDIF configuration file, and import the modified LDIF configuration file into other View
Connection Server instances to perform automatic bulk configuration operations.
You can obtain examples of LDIF syntax for any item of LDAP configuration data in View by examining
the contents of an exported LDIF configuration file. 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 configuration data from a standard or replica
View Connection Server instance to an LDIF configuration file.
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.
Note You must be logged in as a user in the Administrators or Administrators
(Read only) role to export configuration data from the View configuration
repository.
2 At the command prompt, type the vdmexport command and use the -f option to specify the name of
the LDIF configuration file 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 configuration of your View Connection Server instance to the file
that you specify. The command displays errors if your role has insufficient privileges to view the data in
the configuration repository.
