Modify Organization Lease, Quota, and Limit Settings on page 109
Leases, quotas, and limits constrain the ability of organization users to consume storage and processing
resources. You can modify these settings to prevent users from depleting or monopolizing an
organization's resources.
Modify an Organization Name
As your vCloud Director installation grows, you might want to assign a more descriptive name to an existing
organization.
Prerequisites
You must disable the organization before you can rename it.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organizations in the left pane.
2 Right-click the organization name and select Properties.
3 On the General tab, type a new organization name and click OK.
The internal organization URL changes to reflect the new name.
Modify an Organization Full Name and Description
As your vCloud Director installation grows, you might want to assign a more descriptive full name or
description to an existing organization.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organizations in the left pane.
2 Right-click the organization name and select Properties.
3 On the General tab, type a new full name or description and click OK.
Modify Organization LDAP Options
You can use an LDAP service to provide a directory of users and groups to import into an 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 123.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organizations in the left pane.
2 Right-click the organization name and select Properties.
3 Click the LDAP Options tab.
4 Select the new 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 select this option.
VCD system LDAP service
Use the LDAP service for the vCloud Director system as the source for
organization users and groups.
Custom LDAP service
Connect the organization to its own private LDAP service.
