I am trying to figure out how to set identity-specific and server-specific mail/news preferences in a "Configuration Editor" type situation, like in the old MCD, before the account is created.
Right now, the CCK app writes the file mailaccount.rdf for driving the new account wizard. I am trying to figure out a way to set other mail/news preferences which are not exposed in the .rdf, but end up in the pref file and are associated with the new account created with the wizard using that .rdf file. I am guessing that I can't assume the name of the resulting identity or server in the pref file. 1) What about expanding the .rdf to cover more prefs? Some of the prefs will need to end up in a .cfg for locking and/or centralized management, and I'm guessing that the new account wizard won't put them there. This approach might not work then. 2) Specifying the identity and server names in the .rdf so the prefs can be written to a pref files separately using those known names? -Steve
