All Omnissa Horizon configuration data is stored in an LDAP directory. Each Omnissa Horizon Connection Server standard or replica instance contains a local LDAP configuration repository and a replication agreement between each of the Horizon Connection Server instances. This arrangement ensures that changes to one repository are automatically replicated to all other repositories.
When you use Omnissa Horizon Console to modify the Omnissa Horizon configuration, the appropriate LDAP data is updated in the repository. For example, if you add a desktop pool, Omnissa Horizon stores information about users, user groups, and entitlements in LDAP. Horizon Connection Server instances manage other LDAP configuration data automatically, and they use the information in the repository to control Omnissa Horizon operations.
You can use LDIF configuration files to perform a number of tasks, including transferring configuration data between Horizon Connection Server instances and backing up your Omnissa Horizon configuration so that you can restore the state of a Horizon Connection Server instance.
You can also use LDIF configuration files to define a large number of Omnissa Horizon objects, such as desktop pools, and add those objects to your Horizon Connection Server instances without having to use Horizon Console to perform the task manually.
Omnissa Horizon performs regular backups of the LDAP repository.
LDAP configuration data is transferred as plain ASCII text and conforms to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 2849 standard.
