### Configuration Repositories Table

The Configuration Repositories table consists of five columns:

- The Selection column, which contains check boxes to select repositories

  By selecting one or more repositories, the Remove, Rename, and Synchronize functions are enabled.

  Note – Selecting a repository disables the New button.

- Name: contains the name of the repositories

  The contents of the Name column are links. If you click on one of these links, the Configuration Repositories view is replaced by the Profile Editor page for the selected repository.

- Type: can be one of three types, LDAP, file, or hybrid

  - LDAP: an LDAP repository reads the organizational structure (users, organization, hosts, domains, and so on) of the company from an LDAP server and reads/writes the configuration settings using that same LDAP server.

  - File: a file repository reads the organizational structure of the company from the file system, and reads/writes the configuration settings using that same file system.

  - Hybrid: a hybrid repository reads the organizational structure of the company from an LDAP server, and then read/writes the configuration settings into a file system.

- Location of Organization Data: either a file, if a file repository, or LDAP URL, if an LDAP or hybrid repository. Designates the storage location of the organizational data.

- Location of Profile Data: either a file, if a file repository, or LDAP URL, if an LDAP or hybrid repository. Designates the storage location of the configuration settings. A profile is a named collection of configuration settings that is assigned to users, organizations, hosts, and domains.

You can perform the following actions within the Configuration Repositories table:

- New: creates a new configuration repository

- Remove: removes an existing configuration repository

- Rename: renames a configuration repository

- Synchronize: synchronizes configuration repositories

  This function is only enabled when one or two repositories are selected
