LDAP server setting on the VDA

The LDAP server setting on Linux VDA is optional for single domain environments but mandatory for multiple domain and multiple forest environments. The setting is necessary for the policy service to perform an LDAP search in these environments.

After installing the Linux VDA package, run the command:

/opt/Citrix/VDA/sbin/ctxsetup.sh

Type all the LDAP servers in the suggested format: space-separated list of LDAP Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) with the LDAP port (for example, ad1.mycompany.com:389 ad2.mycomany.com:389).

You can also run the ctxreg command to write this setting to the registry directly:

/opt/Citrix/VDA/bin/ctxreg create -k "HKLM\Software\Citrix\VirtualDesktopAgent" -t "REG_SZ" -v "ListOfLDAPServers" -d "ad1.mycompany.com:389 ad2.mycomany.com:389" --force
