Option Description
Member Match Field
The attribute name of a User object to be matched with the Member entry
from the Group object. If you do not specify an attribute name,
vCenter Operations Manager treats the Member entry as a DN.
LDAP Context Attributes
Additional attributes to apply to the LDAP context environment. Type sets
of key=value pairs separated by commas, for example,
java.naming.referral=ignore,java.naming.ldap.deleteRDN-
false.
6 Click OK to save the LDAP host definition.
What to do next
If you configured SSL for the LDAP host, import a security certificate. See “Configure Secure
Communication for LDAP Import,” on page 70.
Configure Secure Communication for LDAP Import
You can import a security certificate to the vCenter Operations Manager server truststore file to
communicate securely with an LDAP host.
Prerequisites
n
Obtain a security certificate.
n
Become familiar with how to start and stop the vCenter Operations Manager Web service. See “Start or
Stop vCenter Operations Manager Services,” on page 108.
Procedure
1 Open a command prompt on the vCenter Operations Manager server.
2 Use the keytool utility to import the security certificate to the server truststore file.
For example:
"vcenter-ops\jre\bin\keytool.exe" -import -alias NDSCERT -file certificate.cer -keystore
"vcenter-ops\user\conf\truststore" -storepass oxygen
certificate.cer is the name of the security certificate.
3 Restart the vCenter Operations Manager Web service.
Import LDAP Users Manually
When you import LDAP users manually, vCenter Operations Manager retrieves the LDAP users that match
your criteria. You can import all users, or select specific users, and assign users to
vCenter Operations Manager groups. You can manually import users at any time.
Prerequisites
n
Define the LDAP host in vCenter Operations Manager. See “Add or Modify an LDAP Host Definition,”
on page 69.
n
Verify that you have the Import From LDAP access right.
Procedure
1 Select Admin > Security.
2 In the User Accounts pane, click the Import from LDAP icon.
