Defining a Desktop Pool in an LDIF Configuration File
You can define a desktop pool in an LDIF configuration file and import the customized LDIF configuration
file to create a large number of desktop pools.
Note You can also create customized LDIF configuration files for other objects that are defined in the
LDAP repository, including global configuration settings, configuration settings for a specific View
Connection Server instance or security server, and configuration settings for a specific user.
To define a desktop pool in an LDIF configuration file, you must add the following entries to the file.
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 defines the entitlement of the desktop pool
You associate each VM Pool entry with one Desktop Application entry in a one-to-one relationship. A
Desktop Application entry cannot be shared between VM Pool entries, and a VM Pool entry can only be
associated with one Desktop Application entry.
The following table describes the attributes you must specify when you modify a desktop pool definition in
an LDIF configuration file.
Table 3‑1. Important Attributes for Defining a Desktop Pool
Entry Attribute Description
Virtual Desktop VM
VM Pool
Desktop Application
cn Common name of an entry. If you require names to be generated
automatically, specify globally unique identifier (GUID) strings. You can use
any reliable GUID generator, such as the mechanism provided by .NET (for
example, by calling System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString() in Visual Basic).
Desktop Application member A list of Active Directory (AD) users and groups who are entitled to access
the desktop pool. The attribute is specified in the form of a Windows Security
Identifier (SID) reference. A member value of <SID=S-1-2-3-4> represents an
AD user or group with the SID value S-1-2-3-4.
In LDIF format, the left angle (<) character is reserved, so you must place
two colons (::) after the attribute name and specify the SID value in base 64
format (for example, PFNJRD1TLTEtMi0zLTQ+IA==). Because this attribute
is multivalued, you can use it on multiple lines to represent each entry in a list
of SIDs.
Sample LDIF Configuration File Desktop Pool Entries
The following example is an excerpt from an LDIF configuration file. It shows sample entries for a desktop
pool named Pool1, which contains two virtual desktops named VM1 and VM2. The desktop pool entry is
paired with the Desktop Application entry, which is also named Pool1.
