A.1. Configuration

The Enterprise Security Client uses the Mozilla configuration preferences for each of the supported platforms. A default configuration file is located in the following directories on each platform:

Platform	Location
Windows	C:\Program Files\Red Hat\ESC\defaults\preferences\esc-prefs.js
Red Hat Enterprise Linux	/usr/lib[64]/esc-1.0.1/esc/defaults/preferences/esc-prefs.js
Macintosh	~/Desktop/ESC.app/defaults/preferences/esc-prefs.js

Table A.1. Location of Default Configuration Files

These files specify the default configuration to use when the Enterprise Security Client is first launched.

When the Enterprise Security Client is launched, it creates a separate, unique profile directory for each user on the system. These profiles are stored in different locations on each platform, as described below:

Platform	Location
Windows	`C:\Documents and Settings\$USER\Application Data\RedHat\ESC\Profiles`
Red Hat Enterprise Linux	`~/.redhat/esc`
Macintosh	`~/Library/Application Support/ESC/Profiles`

Table A.2. Location of Enterprise Security Client User Profiles

NOTE

When the Enterprise Security Client requires any changes to a user's configuration values, the updated values are written to the user's profile area, not to the default Javascript file.

The esc-prefs.js file extract shown below lists the Enterprise Security Client-supported configuration values.
