Modifying LDAP Configuration Data in View
When you use View Administrator to modify the configuration of VMware View, the appropriate LDAP data
in the repository is updated. VMware View stores its configuration information in an LDAP compatible
repository. For example, if you add a desktop pool, VMware View stores information about users, user groups,
and entitlements in LDAP.
You can use VMware and Microsoft command tools to export and import LDAP configuration data in LDAP
Data Interchange Format (LDIF) files from and into VMware View. These commands are for advanced
administrators who want to use scripts to update configuration data without using View Administrator or
View PowerCLI.
You can use LDIF files to perform a number of tasks.
