User configuration files in a distribution package

As an administrator you can create a user .cph file from the session’s HTML configuration and include it in a distribution package. This means the user starts with a customized, pre-configured session. It also means that you can provide the user with more configurable client options than you can assign using the Session Configuration Manager.

You can enable a particular client option, modify its settings using the option dialog, insert the session configuration file into a distribution package, then optionally disable the option (depending on whether you want to allow further user editing).

For example, selecting Enable Edit Options in the Session Configuration Manager allows you to open the Edit Options dialog box within a session and choose clipboard and parsing options that are not part of the Session Configuration Manager. The additional settings are added to the user .cph file. Then you can associate the session .cph file to a distribution package. If you want to maintain standardization, you can disable edit options.

In all cases, if you modify the distribution package, the new user configuration replaces the user’s previous file, deleting all user settings.
