Name the Organization
Provide a descriptive name and an optional description for your new organization.
Procedure
1
Type an organization name.
This name provides a unique identifier that appears as part of the URL that members of the organization
use to log in to the organization.
2 Type a display name for the organization.
This name appears in the browser header when an organization member uses the unique URL to log in
to vCloud Director. An administrator or organization administrator can change this name later.
3 (Optional) Type a description of the organization.
4 Click Next.
Specify the Organization LDAP Options
You can use an LDAP service to provide a directory of users and groups for the organization. If you do not
specify an LDAP service, you must create a user account for each user in the organization. LDAP options can
only be set by a system administrator and cannot be modified by an organization administrator.
For more information about entering custom LDAP settings, see “Configuring the System LDAP Settings,” on
page 93.
Procedure
1 Select the source for organization users.
Option Description
Do not use LDAP
Organization administrator creates a local user account for each user in the
organization. You cannot create groups if you choose this option.
VCD system LDAP service
Use the vCloud Director system LDAP service as the source for organization
users and groups.
Custom LDAP service
Connect the organization to its own private LDAP service.
2
Provide any additional information that your selection requires.
Option Action
Do not use LDAP
Click Next.
VCD system LDAP service
(Optional) Type the distinguished name of the organizational unit (OU) to
use to limit the users that you can import into the organization and click
Next. If you do not enter anything, you can import all users in the system
LDAP service into the organization.
NOTE Specifying an OU does not limit the LDAP groups you can import.
You
can import any LDAP group from the system LDAP root. However, only
users who are in both the OU and the imported group can log in to the
organization.
Custom LDAP service
Click Next and enter the custom LDAP settings for the organization.
