How to select OpenLDAP as directory service in vCenter Orchestrator 4.1

July 12, 2010

Since vCenter Orchestrator 4.1 OpenLDAP is not listed in the vCO configuration LDAP tab drop down directory services list.

To enable it back:

Edit vmo.properties in C:\\Program Files\\VMware\\Orchestrator\\app-server\\server\\vmo\\conf
Add this line: ch.dunes.config.enable-unsupported-ldap-providers=true

Please note that this is an unsupported configuration - Do not do this on production servers !
