We've discovered that AutoConfig is started to get used by bad actors so we're looking at mitigation. The original Autoconfig API was mainly about setting/locking prefs. That would be the original API. There's a strong possibility that we might only allow that API on the main line (rapid release). My goal would be that anything folks need to do with Autoconfig, we would cover in policy manager, but if there was any obscure prefs that needed to be set, Autoconfig could still be used. Mike
