What to do next
You can customize LDAP user and group attributes based on the results of the test.
Customize LDAP User and Group Attributes
LDAP attributes provide vCloud Director with details about how user and group information is defined in
the LDAP directory. vCloud Director maps the information to its own database. Modify the syntax for user
and group attributes to match your LDAP directory.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have an LDAP connection
Procedure
1 Click the Administration tab and click LDAP in the left pane.
2 Modify the user and group attributes and click Apply.
Synchronize vCloud Director with the LDAP Server
vCloud Director automatically synchronizes its user and group information with the LDAP server on a
regular basis. You can also manually synchronize with the LDAP server at any time.
For automatic synchronization, you can specify how often and when to synchronize. See “Modify General
System Settings,” on page 129.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have a valid LDAP connection.
Procedure
1 Click the Administration tab and click LDAP in the left pane.
2 Click Synchronize LDAP.
Customize the vCloud Director Client UI
You can customize the branding of the vCloud Director client UI and some of the links that appear on the
vCloud Director Home login screen.
For a sample .css template with information about the styles that vCloud Director supports for custom
themes, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026050.
vCloud Director uses its default logo, or the logo that you upload, in the login screen, the header, and the
footer. The login screen shows the logo in an area that ranges from a minimum of 48x48 pixels to a
maximum of 60x150 pixels. You can upload logos that are smaller than 48x48 or larger than 60x150 and
vCloud Director scales them to fit in the display area and maintain the aspect ratio of the uploaded image.
The file size for an uploaded image cannot exceed 16384 bytes. The header and footer scale the logo to an
appropriate size and maintain the aspect ratio of the original.
The file must be in the PNG, JPEG, or GIF format.
