Initialize the Cloud Pod Architecture feature. See “Initialize the Cloud Pod Architecture Feature,” on
page 15.
Procedure
1 Log in to the View Administrator user interface for any View Connection Server instance in the pod
federation.
2 In View Administrator, select Users and Groups and click the Home Site tab.
3 On the Home Site tab, click Add.
4 Select one or more search criteria and click Find to filter the Active Directory users or groups based on
your search criteria.
5 Select an Active Directory user or group and click Next.
6 Select the home site to assign to the user or group from the Home Site drop-down menu and click
Finish.
Create a Home Site Override
You can associate a global entitlement with a home site so that the global entitlement's home site overrides a
user's own home site when the user selects the global entitlement.
To create a home site override, you associate a home site with a global entitlement and a particular user or
group. When the user (or a user in the selected group) accesses the global entitlement, the global
entitlement's home site overrides the user's own home site.
For example, if a user who has a home site in New York accesses a global entitlement that associates that
user with the London home site, View looks in the London site to satisfy the user's application request
rather than allocating an application from the New York site.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the global entitlement has the Use home site policy enabled. For more information, see
“Modify Attributes or Policies for a Global Entitlement,” on page 31.
n
Verify that the user or group is included in the global entitlement. For more information, see “Add a
User or Group to a Global Entitlement,” on page 30.
Procedure
1 Log in to the View Administrator user interface for any View Connection Server instance in the pod
federation.
2 In View Administrator, select Catalog > Global Entitlements.
3 Double-click the global entitlement to associate with a home site.
4 On the Home Site Override tab, click Add.
NOTE The Add button is not available if the Use home site policy is not enabled for the global
entitlement.
5 Select one or more search criteria and click Find to filter Active Directory users and groups based on
your search criteria.
6 Select the Active Directory user or group that has a home site you want to override.
The user or group must already be included in the global entitlement you selected.
7 Select the home site to associate with the global entitlement from the Home Site drop-down menu.
8 Click Finish to create the home site override.
