Global Oracle VDI Centers have been designed to work out-of-the-box on the Oracle VDI side. However, the Oracle VDI Center data needs to be populated in your user directory according to the schema used by Oracle VDI, see Section 4.13.1, “Oracle VDI Center Data Schema”.
If you want to use different attribute names and object types than the defaults, you may do so. You will then need to customize the LDAP filters and attributes used for Global Oracle VDI Centers to reflect the attributes and objects used in your schema.
See Section C.1, “How to Edit LDAP Filters and Attributes” for the necessary steps and the default LDAP filters and attributes for Global Oracle VDI Centers.
Oracle VDI is configured to use the following schema for storing Oracle VDI Center data. This schema uses classes and attributes that already exist in LDAP v3 directories.
Oracle VDI
Center: an Oracle VDI Center is an
Organization Unit (ou
) object. It may be
located in any place in the user directory. The name used to
represent an Oracle VDI Center in the
Oracle VDI desktop selector dialog is taken from
the displayName
attribute if this
attribute is specified. Otherwise, the value of the
ou
attribute is used. An
Oracle VDI Center ou
contains
(directly or through a hierarchy) several
Oracle VDI Host objects, which are the
Oracle VDI hosts composing the
Oracle VDI Center.
Oracle VDI
Host: an Oracle VDI Host is a
computer
object (on Active Directory) or
a device
object (on other LDAP
directories). The hostname/IP address of the
Oracle VDI Host is taken from the
dNSHostName
attribute (on Active
Directory) or the ipHostNumber
attribute
(on other LDAP directories). If none of there attributes are
defined, the value of the cn
attribute of
the host object is used.
Associating an Oracle VDI
Center with a User: the Oracle VDI
Center to which a user belongs is defined on the user
object, in the seeAlso
attribute. This
value of this attribute needs to be the full DN of the
Oracle VDI Center object for that user.
Figure 4.1, “Active Directory Example” shows an example global Oracle VDI Center in Active Directory.
