Description

This attribute controls whether or not users can create or edit profiles for use with the Sun Secure Global Desktop Client.

Note Profile editing must also be enabled on the Array Properties panel of Array Manager.

Command line	Array Manager
`2`	Use parent setting
`1`	Enabled
`0`	Disabled

For a person object or organizational unit object, choose Use parent setting (on the command line, --editprofile 2) to inherit the setting of a parent object in the organizational hierarchy. This allows you to enable or disable profile editing for many users without having to edit each person object.

For organization objects, the Use parent setting means use the array-wide setting configured on the Array Properties panel of Array Manager.

Secure Global Desktop checks the person object for the user and then any parent object further up the organizational hierarchy to see whether profile editing is enabled or disabled. If all the objects checked are configured to use the parent's setting, then the array-wide default setting is used.

If profile editing is disabled for a profile object, for example .../_ens/o=Tarantella System Objects/cn=UNIX User Profile, this will affect all users that are assigned that login profile.

By default, profile editing is enabled.

Examples

--editprofile 0

Disables profile editing.
