Description Sean Veale 2009-03-18 20:48:03 UTC

Description of problem:

According to the guide for the ESC 
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/cert-system/7.3/pdf/Enterprise_Security_Client_Guide.pdf

You are able to specify a phone home URL through the global pref file(Section 3.2.2) 

This feature does not work as after you have done that (and restarted the esc) inserting a blank card still has the form when you can manually enter the Phone home URL pops up instead of using the one in from the prefs file.

Looking through the ESC.js file I don't see(with my admittedly short glance) where this preference is ever read in. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Stop the ESC if it is running. Modify the prefs file as specified in section 3.2.2 of the manual.

2.Plug in the blank card. See the Phone home dialog.

3.
  
Actual results:
Dialog pops up asking to input a phone home url. 

Expected results:
Prefs file is read for the phone home url as per the manual.

Additional info:

Using safenet 330J tokens

Thanks. This is something that was in 7.3 that perhaps did not make it into the alpha.

Comment 6 Asha Akkiangady 2009-05-28 19:04:35 UTC

Verified. esc-prefs.js file has esc.global.phone.home.url parameter, when you enter value for this and restart esc, dialog to manually enter the Phone
home URL does not pop up.
