Tridge,

   I just want to check with you to see if  you have any question regarding the 
newly added documentation for this attribute.  If not, I will close this CAR.  

Thanks!

Hongwei

Subject: [REG:110011477385004] RE: userParameters attribute

Tridge,

  We finished updating the protocol document for the userParameters attribute.  
 Since this attribute is used by the Terminal Services Terminal Server Runtime 
Interface, it is documented in [MS-TSTS]: Terminal Services Terminal Server 
Runtime Interface Protocol Specification 
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc248570(v=PROT.10).aspx) , which is a 
part of MCPP document set.   The information below has been added to the 
document and will appear in the future release on MSDN.

  The following are the updated sections in MS-TSTS.  I  attached a separate 
PDF file for your reference.

1.   The table in Section 2.3, Directory Service Schema Elements, was modified 
to denote that the attributes listed previously are not used by Microsoft 
Terminal Services and a new attribute, userParameters, was added to the table.

2.  The section 2.3.1,  UserParameters, was added.

3.  The section 2.3.2,   Encoding and decoding PropValue field, was added. 

4.  The section 4.5,   example for Encoding/Decoding, was added

  Please let us know if you need any more information for this topic.

Thanks!

Hongwei

Subject: CAR: userParameters attribute

Dear Dochelp,

The userParameters attribute on a user in AD seems to be a bit of a puzzle. 
Could you add some docs on it at some stage? Not a really high priority, but we 
would eventually like to be able to offer admin tools that manage things like 
session activity timeouts, and it seems that we need to know how to parse and 
create userParameters to do that.

An example userParameters attribute from w2k8r2 (in base64 form) is this:

userParameters:: Q3R4Q2ZnUHJlc2VudCAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgI
  CAgUAsaCAFDdHhDZmdQcmVzZW5045S15pSx5oiw44GiIAIBQ3R4V0ZQcm9maWxlUGF0aOOAsBgCAU
  N0eFdGSG9tZURpcuOAsCICAUN0eFdGSG9tZURpckRyaXZl44CwEggBQ3R4U2hhZG9344Sw44Cw44C
  w44CwLggBQ3R4TWF4RGlzY29ubmVjdGlvblRpbWXjgaXjjLnjkLDjgLAoCAFDdHhNYXhDb25uZWN0
  aW9uVGltZeOAtOOct+aIseOAsBwIAUN0eE1heElkbGVUaW1l44Gj45yy46Sw44CwIAIBQ3R4V29ya
  0RpcmVjdG9yeeOAsBgIAUN0eENmZ0ZsYWdzMeOAsOOBpuOYsuOAuCICAUN0eEluaXRpYWxQcm9ncm
  Ft44Cw

the above came from using the windows user admin tool to change the session 
activity timeout for a test user.

Michael Ströder has also pointed out this page:

  http://daduke.org/linux/userparameters.html

which documents a previous effort by the Linux thin client community to work 
out the format of userParameters. I'm guessing the strange encoding is used to 
try to keep the attribute as valid UTF8. If you can confirm that the attribute 
is always valid UTF8 that would be great (as otherwise we might corrupt it 
during replication with windows).

As I mentioned, this is not a high priority, but it would be nice to know the 
format at some stage.

Cheers, Tridge
