Hello Caimanaters,
Hi, Tom.
Is there a way to "opt out" or only allow specific criteria constrained profiles
to be associated with a client.
The man for installadm says that "Profiles created without criteria are
associated
with all clients of the service."
As such, no, not yet through installadm. There is no way to express "do not apply
this profile in this instance".
It seems logical to be able to express criteria with 'not' as an extension to the criteria option on the installadm command line:
e.g. MAC~= a:a:a:a:a:a, but it is not presently available.
One possible workaround: identify specific properties that are not to be applied globally, separating them into different profile
files, and selectively run 'create-profile' with '-c <criteria>' to apply the 'non-global' properties.
Another workaround would involve:
- deleting any profiles without criteria ("global" profiles), and
- identifying criteria that exclude systems in question, and run create-profile,
specifying those criteria with '-c <criteria>'
For example, if there were different networks for testing and live, profiles could be created with different properties applied
according to network. The most basic technique would be to always use MAC address as criteria, since it is unique.
Another limited and non-automatic workaround would be to temporarily delete a global profile until the system in question received
its profiles.
(Note that the System Configuration Tool will be run upon first boot for any
system receiving no profiles at all.)
