4.3.15 Host parameters at client and server configuration
24 / 193
There are many configuration options for the opsi server and the opsi clients that may be set or changed via the tab
Host parameters. Theryby, server defaults are set in the mode server configuration, client specific values in the mode
client configuration plus manual selection of the Host parameters tab (see also Section 4.3.4).
On principle, these configuration entries (config objects of the opsi-server) are conceived as lists of values. Therefore
they are edited via the list editor tool (cf. Section 4.3.10).
Depending on the specific definition of a configuration object
• the values of a list can be of type text (Unicode) or of type Boolean (i.e. true/false);
• the list may have only one element or may be a true list with several members;
• the set of values from which list elements are selected may be fixed or extendible.
New configuration entries of types unicode (extendible) and boolean (fixed) may be created via the context menu. It
offers also the option to remove existing entries.
The relationship of server and client entries is complicated.
• Server entries hold the defaults for client entries.
• When a server entry (a config object) is deleted the depending client entries (config states) vanish as well.
• Creation of a client entry via opsi-configed entails the automatic creation of an adequate server default.
• Deletion of a client entry via opsi-configed removes only the client specific value (if existing) but leaves the server
default (which will be valid for the client).
• In the moment the opsi-configed does not indicate if a specific client value exists or if the server default is used for
the client.
• There are configurations objects for which client values may be created and edited but only the server objects are
used (e.g. the entries for the opsi-configed, starting with configed.).
