Chapter 9 Managing Preferences 183
Editing Preference Values for an Application
A well behaved application should respect the settings in a preference manifest. But if
there is no preference manifest, it is up to you, the administrator, to see that these
settings (modifiable in the Preference Editor) are effective. In general, preference
management works best in Often mode. If you use Always mode, a preference may still
take effect, but the application may probably still allow the preference to be changed
by the end user.
To edit preference values for an application:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences, then click Details.
2 Make sure the right directory is selected and that you are authenticated for it, and then
select one or more users, groups, or computer lists.
3 Double-click an item in the list (or select the item and click Edit).
4 Locate the values you want to modify and make the desired changes.
5 Click Apply Now and Done.
If you change key to a value that does not match the preference manifest for an
application, the Preference Editor indicates that in the key edit screen. You are not
forbidden from making such a change, merely advised against it.
Removing Preference Values With the Preferences Editor
You have the option of removing or deleting application preferences. This means that
you can remove modified preference values for any and all applications that have been
introduced into directory services. Doing so will not remove any preference manifests
that may exist.
To clear preferences values from an application:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences, then click Details.
2 Select the application or bundle ID (this can only be done one application at a time.)
3 Click Remove.
Note: You don’t ever remove a preference manifest. You only remove the (existing)
values that have been saved in directory services via the Preference Editor.
